my closer is still making minimum...has done a great job! Considering 11 of the runs were giving up in 3 appearances prior. Just like any closer he is going to get bombed here and there......but is he really worth closer money for my future?

Control of 47 for a closer? Good luck with that

Randy Lowe. 200 saves with control in the 40s (and, in his prime, a pair of 90-something splits). Obviously, he was better than Moya in his prime. But an interesting example nonetheless.

As for bullpen setup, if my best RP has longer innings capabilities, I'll sometimes use him as Closer A with a short TPC but a long MPC and an early innings avail. I then run a Closer B, often a short sta/dur guy with good stuff, set him for 9th inning avail, and keep 1 fewer Setup man.

Example: This season in Roy Hobbs I'm going to use Damion Sullivan as ClA with a 7th inning avail and a 20/45 PC. On days when he's at 100% and the score is close, he should take the ball from the starter and finish the game or pitch until the score is no longer close. The rest of the 'pen is basically for days he's not 100%/games that aren't close/games where the starter doesn't go 6 innings. I'm probably going to roll with Mitchell Waters (and his sweet Rollie Fingers 'stache) in the ClB roll, with only 2 setup men.
