I don't know how hard that would be to implement. Maybe the player experiences more soreness than usual after a certain point, which means he needs some rest, but we could also be given the option to shut him down for the season if need be.

I wouldn't mind this at all, but I'd want to get e-mails notifying me that a pitcher had hit (or better yet was about to hit) his 'Verducci number'. I don't want to have to keep track of that myself.

That's true for the game today. I don't think it's desirable. I'd rather have those as separate ratings (endurance and bounceback?).
