I think it's going to be interesting to see if what we seen last year in the MLB is a new strategy that more and more teams use or was it just the Indians dealing with a ton of injuries and the Cubs being managed by a cat that hails from his very own universe.

If the 'use of closer' option is set to anything but 'often' or 'very often'
BOTH roles are available currently. The game doesn't just give us one or the other. It either gives us both or just the closer. So based on the 'use of closer' option I can use both a closer and a stopper if I so choose. I'm not arguing that that makes sense, it may not, but it is an option.
Specifically in online leagues I'd like the option of what roles to use up to the GMs and have all of them as options.
