Sorry I do not know why anyone uses those settings. For relievers it is SA and mop up if needed. I see no point in doing anything else.

SuB will pitch in the first situation over the LRA. In the second situation, your LR will come in.

Modified version of this... my best relievers are SuA and the rest are SuB. Lets me choose who gets the high leverage innings rather than Simmy choosing.

If it works well then why change?

Lineup decisions for playoffs:
I need to choose 1 LF, 1 CF, 1 RF, and 1 Catcher between these 5:
Player Profile: Roenis Mangual - Hardball Dynasty Baseball | WhatIfSports
Player Profile: Arismendy Lecuona - Hardball Dynasty Baseball | WhatIfSports
Player Profile: Stefan Rothschild - Hardball Dynasty Baseball | WhatIfSports
Player Profile: Frank Martin - Hardball Dynasty Baseball | WhatIfSports
Player Profile: Marv Conway - Hardball Dynasty Baseball | WhatIfSports

Right now I am starting Mangual at RF, Lecuona at LF, Rothschild at CF, and Martin at C. I generally love playing defensive specialists like Martin who is also a switch hitter. He hit .784 OPS this season so he is no slouch but Mangual's offense is strong and combining him with Conway at LF against righties might be the way to go too. I'm leaning Rothschild at CF over Lecuona because of his range/glove combo is stronger despite having the weaker arm.

I also have Player Profile: Steve Clevenger - Hardball Dynasty Baseball | WhatIfSports I can play against righties (already starting against lefties) but Martin has hit better against righties for the past 2 seasons and his cERA is a half-run lower and nearly a full run lower than Mangual's. Plus he has thrown out 23/61 runners vs 18/69 for Clevenger and 2/15 for Mangual.

Martin and Conway would sit for me.

Thoughts on this guy? Health is scary, but hoping to get 20 starts and have him ready for playoffs. Sound reasonable?

My favourite kind of player. Keep your medical at 20 and ride him into the ground.

acquired him after budgeting... I usually keep mine at 10 but will bump next season... now the trick will be navigating this season.

Id never do anything but 20/20 med and training.

Nah. 20 training for sure. But I do 16 med.

This guy finally got injured, but only a stained hamstring for 11 days. Throw him in the 60 or wait for the next injury? The gains I'll get in speed/baserunning won't help what he is long term, IMO...

You'll gain more useful ratings by playing him. Wait for the next injury.

How do you determine if you will get ratings increase playing vs 60 DL?
