In my experience the regular rotation impact how often a starter gets used in relief. Outside of 14 inning games that end up 20-17.
If you have 3 SP* and 2 non*, set the SP* in the rotation, either one of the other 2 will be used in relief depending on where the non* guys fall in per game pitchers. A guy seems more likely to be used the day before his scheduled start than the day after pitching.
But I don't think often enough to be set at closer.
