With that many options and the ability to set parameters for all of them, it seems like the onus should be on us to tailor them to our liking. Otherwise, why stop with MR3? Why not SET3, etc.

I think the argument against say set 3 is that the LHS and RHS are more set up to be used in these same spots, whereas MR is a more unique kinda role. Or could just be personal preference....

But I do remember wanting another MR spot when I was first playing (I no longer feel the need for one). Of all the relief spots, it makes the most logical sense to add one more MR. I don't think it would hurt anything, and would give some players a greater feeling of control on their staff.

That said, I also don't see any reason the option shouldn't exist for MR3. As Rock said, SET3 is made less needed with the LHS and RHS with 6 total set up men slots available. If I remember the discussion correctly the last time it came up, I think Steve said it had something to do with only being allowed to carry 13 pitchers and there already being 15 roles, but I don't think having unused roles will create too much confusion.
