Yeah, I'll use my closer in that type role, too. When not simming the my closer role tends to be more than 1 IP a lot of times. Sometimes 2 IP (though more often I will sling'em in during the 8th with one or 2 outs when the setup guy flames out before it gets too late.
Though, I tend to like high GB frequency above all else. I tend to be freak when it comes to liking GB pitchers (hey, Quisenberry is my favorite pitcher of all time)
Also I am more apt to go with a bullpen by committee. My preference is kind of Nasty Boys setup or the Henke/Ward setup the Blue Jays used to have.
