softshoe Joined: 01/24/2015 Posts: 72 Inactive | In a 4 man rotation I still have a spot for a starter for the 5th spot. What will the pitcher in that position be used for? Will my Spot Starter still start for a injured starter in the first 4 starting spots? Am I going in the wrong direction in general as far as even using a 4 man rotation? just took over team with mainly 31 year and older pitchers, and feel like I only have 4 decent starters. | ||
