I disagree that it has to do with individual settings. I don't think I am getting less saves, I just know I am getting them spread out in poor ways. Here are some examples from my online league. (Pretty much all of them are like this but these are some)
Date: 7/1
KC Royals:
Mike MacDougal - 8 (setup man) (40 appearences)
Byron Embry - 6 (Closer) (18 appearences)
Jaime Cerda - 1 (setup man) (11 appearences)
Embry has never been hurt and has always been the closer.
Red Sox:
Scott Linebrink - 8 (Closer) (12 Appearences?!?!)
Ryan Wagner - 7 (Setup man) (30 appearences)
Carmen Cali - 2 (Setup man) (20 appearences)
Linebrink has never been hurt and has always been the closer.
On the twins JC Romero never got hurt, and yet he's only been used 11 times. He has pitched 1 times since 5/29. The trouble is he is in a contract year and the guy needs him to have playing time so he'll he able to resign him.
These are the problems. Odd nonuse and the saves being too far spread. As far as I know, there is no setting that I can change that has anything to do with how a bullpen will be used in save ops. If it wasn't an online league, I'd be able to plug the guys in myself, but there is no way on my Red Sox team i'd ever only use my closer 12 times, while totally healthy, in 3 months, and just give out those save ops to my setup guys. it makes no sense. Same thing goes with the KC setup guy having MORE saves then the closer. These results are across the board throughout the league. No a lack of saves, but an improper use of the pen by the AI, mostly in the closer position.
