there is a scenario where a reliever will start a game even if there are no starting pitching injuries at the time.
its a small loophole, and 1 or 2 owners have figured out how to take advantage of it, but its rare and for the most part a non-factor.
In the great scheme of things, if you have a great closer, and HAL starts him, then he will not be available to close for a few games, which certainly could end up costing a few wins.
