I realize I could probably change other settings to do that, but this has been how I've done it and since I don't believe in a "designated" closer, I don't need to mark them with that label. I know which guy I want to bring in for different situations.

I haven't seen it as much in 12 but I have played deadball pre-closer era mostly but I think MR versus CL can affect morale if a guy thinks he is a closer and you put him as MR sometimes he gets mad. I could be wrong it may be solely based on if he is in the closer slot in the pitching depth chart.
