Haven't looked at it lately but there was a suggestion early in the thread that setting closer use to rare made the stopper role available but what it I don't want closer use rare for everyone but want to use the stopper model of setting up my bullpen.

Stopper is definitely tied to "use of closer." It will appear as you said when use of closer is set to rarely. I'm probably wrong here (as usual), but I think what y'all are asking for in a stopper is completely different from what OOTP provides as a stopper. Think Hoyt Wilhelm, Ron Perranoski, John Hiller or Mike Marshall. The Stopper in OOTP is basically the bullpen ace and an inning horse. If what you want is what you saw in Andrew Miller with the Indians, I think Markus will have to create an entirely new role. Like I said, I'm probably wrong.
