Ok... just curious what would happen with these settings.

If I were to use a three man * rotation of:

R. Johnson
Clemens
John Thompson

Then have the 4th and 5th Starters as

Ohka
Matritsch

Then if I used Matristch as my relief pitcher for both lefties and righties. [b:e6e9746531]How often could he pitch?[/b:e6e9746531][/b]

If train A is travelling north at 60 km/hr and train B is travelling south...

Well then I guess I would set my 3 * sp's as the top 3 in my rotation, and ohka as #4 and leave the 5th spot blank. If you have NO other sp's, then it will have to use Mads as the fifth. I think he'll only start every 7th or 8th game if I remember correctly. Which means you might get 3 games of releif from him in between? But knowing HAL, maybe you'd get more, but just a fatigued starter?

If you put Mads in the rotation then he will never be used in relief. If you do as geekor suggests then I believe that strategy risks having Mads start fatigued.

I think you would have to put Mads back in the rotation the series before he starts in order to ensure he would not start fatigued.
