Default Re: Pitching Probabilities

Those are some good thoughts. Do you think it effects long-term longevity (career-length), or just in-season longevity (burnt out come playoff time)?

Also, I probably am overestimating the benefit of extra rest, but be wary when you say if each pitcher were 8% more effective on an extra day, many teams would use a 6-man rotation. Baseball organizations do a lot of dumb things (or should I say, don't do a lot of things that are good). Most-specifically, things that are "against the norm."

Thanks for the thoughts.
