Playing with some ideas for modifying next year's bullpen configuration, tell me what you think. With this,the strategies of Reliever Trust and
Platoon Specializing would be removed. In the example there is no dedicated setup man. In a close game, it would use Broxton vs. R, Ross vs. L, and League otherwise, in the 7th or 8th innings. Kimbrel for the save only. If you wanted closer by committee, you'd move Kimbrel to #1 Leverage Reliever and shift League down. Lefty and Righty specialists are implied #1 Leverage Relievers if the situation hits and there isn't a dedicated player specified for the situation, like the Royals with Herrera in the 7th, Davis in the 8th, Holland in the 9th. A lefty specialist wouldn't get used in the 7th or 8th on that team unless maybe they ran into some trouble.
