The "problem" as I see it (which isn't really a problem, per se) is that the role of 'stopper' doesn't (and shouldn't) have a singular definition. The beauty of utilizing this strategy is that managers are starting to ignore defined roles and use the talent available to them in the situations in which they are best suited. If your stopper is lefthanded you might have different parameters around his usage than if he is righthanded; if your opponent's lineup sets up certain ways you might have different usage than if it sets up in other ways. This type of usage doesn't lend itself very well to auto-playing a simulation, unfortunately, but in my mind, that is the utility of the strategy of a stopper.
