    LR/MR/Setup are relief pitchers.

    LR-long relievers, good stamina and they usually go and pitch 3-5 innings out of relief.

    MR-Typically hard throwers or a specialty man(only for lefties or only for righties), they usually pitch 1-2 innings in a game because they don't have great stamina.

    Set-up-that's the guy who comes in before the closer, mainly a 8th inning only guy.

    they are all relief pitchers. the term relief pitcher is very general but LR/MR/SU is more specific. some pitchers are considered SU and MR. that's why it wouldn't work in Yahoo because some guys switch in and out of the role all season.
