The powers that be listened to the complaints of Dale Murray pitching 300+ innings. They took action and limited the amount of roles one reliever could have. Problem solved.
Well OK, that's an opinion. Another opinion is the dramatic price increase along with draconian changes to bullpen management was a mistake.
I don't want to be forced into Whoopycat's strategy to claim bullpen management success - for all intents and purposes four studs in a pitchers park against weak competition, and from what I can see its his only completed ATG9 team. I've used the four man bullpen successfully through ATG 8 in Minute Maid, Shea, Forbes '57, etc., not just in pitchers parks. I have yet to see any evidence that will work in ATG9. By the way, with over 200 ATG teams, I've never come anywhere near 300 innings for a reliever - I voted to limit their innings - however, in this case the cure is worse than the disease.
Nowhere did I say I agreed with the reliever price increases. I actually think they were a bit extreme.
What I did say was a lot of people complained about 'Super relievers' and they found a way to curtail it.
