Amen to what nevdully said. Where's the realism?
We no longer have much control over the bullpen because of the changes, which were put in place to protect against super relievers. Of course it doesn't achieve much of anything but give us less control and less realism.
What relief pitcher in real life can only pitch tied and late, or mop up? Why wouldn't a real relief pitcher be able to pitch when tied and late,... tied and extra innings,...and mop up?
Furthermore, is it realistic if a modern day SP gets 350 innings?
And lastly, paying for a bunch of relievers that you never want to use is not a very smart strategy at all. A much smarter strategy is to get the most value for your money. Only using 4 of your 11 pitchers is a lot of things but realistic or smart it is not.
