Potential Rule Change re: E SP Duration

[CSCommish]

I had been thinking about ways to eliminate a pitcher's E duration if they had not been utilized.

Here are the options I was thinking:

If pitcher is 26+ yo and starts less than 5?
Logic: Non-prospects must prove their worth, can spot start sometimes

If pitcher is 30+ yo and starts less than 10?
Logic: By now, pitchers must be starting regularly by this point.

If not, then the pitcher will lose its SP duration rating.



Thoughts?

Nah, I feel like stopping the relievers turning into starters was enough when we did it. Plus the pitching is going to thin out with the games started lower now,. 5 man rotations and steroid era pitching stats

I also disagree with the potential rule change. It nice to have a guy in your bullpen that can spot start for injuries. Part of a larger team building strategy. I love that aspect of the game.

I export every sim, shuffle lineups and rotations based on upcoming opponents, days off, ext.

Pass on dropping E starters...
Max start games dropping + injuries seem high to SP...
A few games may be needed by an E starter more frequentley

Also opposed, I’m building a pen that has numerous guys who can start and I prefer that. Not sure what it accomplishes

They may only 3- 4 innings before bullpen

Plus we're more selective in ammy drafts. Less pitchers have SP duration.

At a certain point it will be irrelevant. Relievers start games now.

There’s also the thing where guys sometimes switch between starting and relieving from one year to the next.

I'm fine with nah. Thanks for the input!
