newsdude477 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Hey guys....a question. How many pitchers in the bullpen do you guys carry? I seem to not have enough positional backups, basically I try to carry a backup catcher, outfielder, infielder that has 2nd pos and IF, and then someone else. Sometimes it seems like it's not enough when I'm trying to give guys a rest on a long road trip. My bullpen is 2 LRP's, 3 MRP's, 1 SUP, and a closer. Should I dump one for another backup positional player? If so which one? I was think one of my LRP's or my setup guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobiasLS Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I go with 2 Mid, 2 SU and a closer. I try to get a lefty as a SU and one of the Mid to have a stamina greater than 55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishDBacker Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 It depends what league i am in, For me if im in the American league i prefer to carry that extra hitter thanks to the DH rule, and in the Nationa League i go with an extra pitcher because of the PH, defensive changes etc etc. AL - 11 Pitchers - 5 SPs, 2 MR, 1 LR, 2 SU, 1 Closer NL - 12 Pitchers - 5 SPs, 2 MR, 2 LR, 2 SU, 1 Closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsdude477 Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 Thanks. I think I'll lose one of the LRP's and move one of my MRP's to setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nittanylionfan3 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I carry like ten pitchers, five starters, one setup, one closer, one long relief, and two middle relief, I usually get amazing starters, who lead my team to victory, always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jitter Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I have 5 starters, 3 relievrs, and a closer. I carry a backup for every position, and 2-3 extra OF's. If you want to keep your extra pitcher, find some guys that can play more than one position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBlue Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I am in the NL and I carry 12. 5 SPs, 3 MR, 2 LR, 1 SU, 1 Closer. I would like to carry another fielder but I get tired of them complaining about their playing time. It is easier for me to keep pitchers happy. Just put them out in the bullpen and let the throw.

erbkylej Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I use 12 pitchers: 1 long, 3 middle, 2 setup, 1 closer. Usually I have at least 2 leftys sometimes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
