Will an SP Relieve if not in my rotation?

I have 4 *SP, and added Burris. Will he be used out of the bullpen or is he a complete waste if I am using a 4 man rotation?

Burris will never pitch in relief. He would only pitch if one of your SP gets hurt.

but keep in mind that Burris can sometimes be good... and there is a slim chance he will be better than one or more of your aces.

Burris once stepped up for me down the stretch when I had trouble finding a good 4th starter. He pitched into the playoffs and helped me win my first championship. :D

A 5th starter [b:8134bb5fb7]might[/b:8134bb5fb7] relieve is you've run out of relievers and the 5th SP is the only pitcher available. My fifth starter got a save for me that way in a 14 inning game just last night.
