I thought I would pass on something I learned this season. Let's say you got an expensive closer who is a C6 like Edwin Diaz and you want to maximize his innings. Put him at set-up and closer and don't come in before the 8th. Then, if you dont have F8 ratimgs on your starters and relievers...he should come in a lot in the beginning of the 8th in close games.

a few seasons back I used Kenley Jansen and Andrew Miller alternating one Middle the other set up & closer
Jansen threw 117 innings and Miller 154 !
