I started using a 4-man rotation in my new solo league. Inj my first year, my #3 starter, who was rated E in Endurance (and was actually a MR I picked up late in the draft) went 19-7 with a 2.71 ERA, leading the league in wins and winning the Cy Young Award. The team was in a 5 man rotation in April, than in a 4 man for the rest of the year. So, having "E" endurance didn't seem to hurt him.

However, the next season, he started 1-4 with a 5.71 ERA, went on the DL for 9 weeks, wound up in the minors for a while, and finished the season with just 4 wins. Whether this was a product of the 4 man rotation, or just the fact that he was a mediocre pitcher, I'm not sure. I'll have to see what happens in year 3.
