Just finished up the 1986 post season in my current random debut. I was kind of shocked to see 2 out of the 4 post season participants move pitchers that were used as starters during the entire regular season into the closer role. Been trying to remember if there were any real life instances of this happening? Once team moved Dellin Betances into the setup role in favor of Bruce Hurst. Betances had 30+ saves on the year, but also carried a sketchy 5+ ERA. It worked for this team, I just wonder if it's realistic that a team would do this? But then again, is it realistic that Toad Ramsey is playing in 1986?
