    Franchise: Reliever Depth Chart?

    In my Pirates franchise, my MLB relievers are Mike Crotta (RH, MR), Vicente Padilla (RH, MR), two lefties, Jose Veras (RH, SU) and Jeff Karstens (RH, LR).

    My problem is that Crotta (71 ovr) pitches the majority of my relief innings when I sim games.

    Crotta has pitched 15.2 innings in 9 appearances.
    Padilla is a 76 ovr, and has pitched 6.2 innings in 4 appearances.
    Veras is my setup man, 74 OVR, and has made 2 appearances for a total of 1 IP.

    My closer has 7 saves in 8 opportunities, so its not like Veras doesnt pitch because I never have the lead in the 8th. I really want to know why Crotta pitches twice as much as Padilla, when theyre both righty MRs. Is there anything I can do to get Padilla in the game more when I sim?

    I think Im SOL, but figured Id try here. Thanks

      Good question. Off the top of my head I want to say its Crotta but I'll check and post here. Good point, maybe that's it.

        yea it could be or maybe crotta was just pitching good, the ai doesnt really go for 1 inning and done pitchers they usually leave whoever in until they're getting blasted or over the pitch count

          Yea, I'm not really a fan of this. I think 2K needs to program the AI to use MR and the SU guy for only 1 inning most of the time.

          But I checked up on the stamina ratings. Crotta is a 50 and Padilla is a 69, so it wasn't that. Oh well
