the super RP

lots of teams try to use murray or adams etc. to pitch several innings and rp constantly. they do it successfully in a lot of leagues. my question, is it worth to have 2 Super Relievers on your team? ex. murray and sutter, adams and murray, sutter and marshall, etc. will hal constantly use both RPs or will one languish on the pine using up cap space?

If you kept two super RPs I would think you should make one of your SPs a lower salary guy (maybe a specialist) and restrict his IP when he starts?

Here is a two super reliever team at 60 million (Wilhelm 323 innings and Murray with 208) that won a title:

wow. did you set both for all rp roles or did you divide them?

Here's a nice team using the two Cubs' super relievers from this year's BS - playoffs still in progress.

settings my man , settings?

Wasn't my team. Honestly, do you need someone to hold you when you pee, too?

I'm using Dale M & Hoyt W right now in a BS League. I do feel I might have overdone it.

On the other hand, all four teams in my division are in sluggers parks, and I went real cheap with my starters.

I use Hoyt as my #1 option versus very heavy RH leaning team and Dale as my #1 elsewhere.

If I had to do it over again I'd probably either a) get two super relievers that were a little more different (Hoyt is only very narrowly better against righties) or b) spend 4-5m on the #2 guy rather than 5.5m on two.
