Just put those guys in Long Relief or Mopup roles then.

So you want to program Dusty Baker's long-man usage patterns into the game? Ask Micah Owings how that worked out for him, pitching once a month.

"Just put those guys in Long Relief or Mopup roles then."

Yeah, I guess this is probably the closest thing I could get to my desired behavior.

"Players on the 'rest' setting will come in the game once all non-rest players have reached their pitch counts, which sounds like what you're wanting."

Yeah, but sometimes I really DO want 'Rest' to mean 'Do Not Pitch'.  I reserve it exclusively for pitchers who are not at 100%.  If all the other pitchers reach their pitch counts and it's 2-1 in the 13th inning, will the sim bring in my 64% Setup A I'd prefer to leave resting, or my 100% Setup B who is listed as Rest?

Personally I would only use this setting in the playoffs.  During the regular season I don't care as much.  But in the postseason, against a good team where even a 5-0 lead might not feel safe, I'd want to put this in effect.

Don't carry pitchers on the playoff roster that you don't want to pitch.   I guess you could get into trouble if you have 3-4 extra inning games but I regularly carry 9-10 in the playoffs. 

It's not that I don't want them to pitch, I just want all of my Setup As to have been used in a game before handing the ball to any of the Setup Bs.  Listing the Bs as Mopup as csherwood suggested would probably produce my desired behavior.

Well I already set fatigued pitchers to Rest each day.  So, that might in fact work.  Forgot about Auto Rest because it almost never comes into play the way I set my staffs.
