Babe Adams Settings?

I am playing in a very high cap league and took Babe Adams with the plan to use him as setup/closer. I have seldom done this before, any help on pitcher settings?

My pen looks like this:

Percival - middle/mopper
RH Specialist - D Smith/Nathan
LH Specialist - Caldwell/Mossi

I want to use Adams after the 7th if I am ahead or tied after the specialists have been used (if that is even possible).

Maybe the settings should be for Adams - Setup, slow hook, use after 7th, closer use regular, relief conservative?

Thanks for your help!!

I would set Adams to Setup, Closer, Tied & 9th, Tied & Late, Behind & Late. Probably Slow Hook, Don't relieve before F8.
I wouldn't go Conservative though. Normal or Aggressive.........

I'd list him as middle man as well, but list the specialists before that if you want them in first. I would skip the F8. I'm not sure, but I think he would be available in more than 2 successive games if he doesn't approach his fatigue inning. Not only do you want to max his innings, you want to max his appearances. Slow hook, if you find he's getting pulled when you'd rather have him stay in.
