How does a pitcher's stamina rating correlates to the amount of a pitches a pitcher can throw before he begins to lose effectiveness? For example, our rating system is scaled at 1-20. How many pitches can a starter with a 20 rating for stamina can throw as opposed to a starter with a rating of 15?
There is no definitive answer. A 20/20 rating should allow you not to worry about pitch count at all. Even 15/20 is pretty good. In the 10-15 range you might want to put the lower guys on a 110-115 limit. I have a highly rated SP who would show as 6/20 on your scale who is good for 90-100 pitches but rarely goes past 5-6 innings.

I'm pretty happy with the way Markus re-jigged stamina and the relationship with starting pitching in vX. The number of "Pedro" like starters seems more realistic. That in turn leads to more realistic bullpen use.
