If you have a middle reliever who is too good to pitch in mop-up games, you may wish to designate him a set-up man of some description. I find this realistic; true long relievers don't usually show up in the 8th or 9th unless they are desperate for work. I can appreciate your definition of long reliever and middle reliever may differ. I find it very intuitive how it works. |
