Built yet another wild haired idea team ...

Setting Wade for Mopup so HAL doesn't burn those innings with my studs. I'm curious to see what HAL does with my stud relievers????

Considered dropping one of my Super Relievers and upgrading the remaining three. But is 4 super relievers enough?

Team is going to either be a stroke of genius or will give me a stroke, only HAL knows for sure.

I have used this strategy in 20xx in power parks with low bp singles. Not sure how it would work in an extreme pitcher's park. You probably need 600-700 relied innings. So 160 per guy sounds right, so 4 stud guys sounds right to me. Consider capping them at 2-3 innings max so they dont get blown for 2 even 3 games. Maybe thats ok though since you have three other guys. Judgment call.

Looks like it worked out okay for you with 93 wins.

this was my approach - I wanted to make sure only the 4 RPs were used - each one (RP) was virtually lights-out against one side of the plate and tried to match-up my starters against my opponents - lost first round to a team from a division that produced both finalists, in addition to the team that beat me (total of 3 playoff teams from that division)

used '*' starters so I could use any one of them as frequently as possible. the LH thing is just my eccentricity (some of you know that)

I think you could use a 4 man rotation and make sure your mandatory 5th SP is SP only and just never use him, as so many seem to do
