I'm trying to figure out how  best to use my relief staff. 

Would you use Chris Barr or Bosco Lidge as the closer?

My team is here; any thoughts about how you'd maximize the effectiveness of the bullpen would be much appreciated.

Chris Barr, hands down!

I'd have them both as SetUp A, set to come in for the 6th or 7th.  Let SIMMY decide who to use, based on RH or LH matchups.

i'd also put them both on setup A, you're only going to get half as many innings as you could by designating one as closer.

I base it on 96 durability,88 control and 2 91 pitches. As far as not getting enough innings as closer, he has a 25 stamina. He is not going to get a ton of innings. You want a good pitcher to secure the win.
It's your call if you want to try the other go ahead.

moose... I think what deano's trying to suggest is that he will get fewer appearances (hence fewer IP) as a closer, as compared to a SetUp A.
