Although Stinson was listed as None on fatigue, he could still have a small amount of fatigue. Don Colonna hadn't pitched in 59 days, so his fatigue was zero and therefore he got the node. I don't know, maybe in this case the Spot Starter should get the start. Steve

For example, assuming it was on a scale of 0 to 100 with 100 being fully fatigued and 0 being fully rested... A SS with 1 fatigue should get priority over a LR with 0 fatigue because the difference is insignificant. I think you should have a level every 10 fatigue (there are 10 bars on the display, hence that logic) and thus the SS would have to have a fatigue of 10 or greater (or whatever 10% would equate to) to lose out to a LR that has a full bar. Does that make sense? Basically if their displayed bars are the same, they should be considered at the same fatigue "level" for the purpose of this evaluation.

Originally, there was one team who was using the same pitcher in SS to start 3-4 times in the rotation (left several slot empty). Also, how to handle the case whereby there are two injuries in the rotation in a row?? Obviously in that case the LR should start the 2nd game. Steve

If there are two games in a row, he will probably be fatigued, so then the LR would pitch. If he isn't fatigued, he probably got pulled in the 1st inning, so why not let him pitch a second game. I would also think any pitcher who starts a game regardless of their assignment should still have the minimum 75 pitch count. Otherwise its an easy exploit for handedness.
