You'd also need a lot more than 5 RPs because they'd all get tired really quickly. The Stamina rating is not role-independent, and it means a lot less for relievers than for starters. If a guy is set as an SP, he'll be able to pitch longer outings, but he'll recover very slowly from his outings. If a guy is set to MR, he'll pitch much shorter outings (his Stamina matters, but not much), and he'll recover more quickly.
Right, I've noticed a pitcher's rest status changing when changing his position.

So what this means that if your SP gets injured in the first inning, and you decide to put in the next guy in your rotation because you know you have a day off coming up, he will not perform anything like he would have had he started the game. Doubront can throw 105 pitches in relief in real life, but not in OOTP...
