Spot starter comes from bullpen sometimes (so he will be tired for to start any next game), then would be better to have a really 6th starter in a 6 men rotation (instead 6th starter is ss).

If the spot starter is really tired, then the game will use the Long Reliever or Long Reliever 2 as the 6th starter.

I'm pretty sure that if you use a 6 man rotation the spot starter is always in the rotation. Make sure to set your rotation to " 6-Man Rotation" for your Spring Training Pitching. If you have had it set to 6-Man Rotation all year, your SS should be pitching his second start tomorrow.

In my 5th game of spring training, my spot starter came on in relief and was unable to start game 6. Fortunately, I was around and able to sub in an alternate starter but many guys would not be able to. I think this is an excellent suggestion.

If anyone cares to look, I originally had Cesar Crespo as my SS but I put Berger in that slot after game 5.

Hmm... That kind of seems like unwanted behavior.

+1 to original suggestion.

I wonder if spot starter ever gets relief priority over LR. LR can start in lieu of SS, but if the SS is only used because the LR was unavailable, that could easily make no LR avail still for the start.

The use of SS for relief can really mess up starts IMO, but this could potentially be resolved if the game prevents this if the SS is anticipated to have a start scheduled in the next 3 or so days.
