I have been doing this in hopes of him pitching better in a game so that he can last longer and thus get more exp. Problem is, this doesnt seem to work very well. He has had very few quality starts and most of his starts he still pitches poorly. So my question is if by not pitching him every 5 days, does he start getting rusty like real MLB players do? I read previously that giving players off days or skipping them in a rotation doesnt matter in Broken Bat since there is no 'rust'.
