I've really enjoyed using a "starter" as my closer on one of my teams, I think the extra stamina really helps him when the AI thinks about leaving him in for a second inning or pitching him 2+ days in a row. I've used Dylan Cease as a RP, but since promoting him to closer halfway through 2023, he's been lights out. I've never seen a relief pitcher rack up 3.5 WAR in a season, even though the competition wasn't anything special in gold that year. He got off to a brutal start this season and is still rocking a .420 BABIP, so he should settle back down from where he is. If you're looking for a fairly cheap closer to rack up saves, WAR, and be in contention for reliever of the year, converting Cease really worked well for me. He's usually up for 6500ish PP, not too bad for a closer to compete in high levels.
