I started this thread talking about the AI using starters as closers in the post season. I may have just seen a team do so and in doing so they improved their chances to take home a World Series. Detroit has used Guy Hoffman as their closer all season. Hoffman racked up saves, but he also racked up blown saves as well. When the post season rolled around, Hoffman pretty much forgot how to get anyone out. I was extremely pleased to see the Tigers start using Larry Dierker in the closing role the last couple games. Detroit is up 2 games to 0 against St. Louis in the World Series.
