I then placed them in the starting rotation (SP, MR, CL, SP, MR) and then simmed from July 1 to the end of the season. Not a large sample size but it may show us something.
Doesn't look like the role the pitcher was in affected IP or # Pitches to any great extent. The only 5 CGs came from the 2 pitchers in the SP role.
Take it for what it is. There are 2 passes of the test below,

Not to nit pick but were those the only five pitchers on the team?
It would seem to skew the stats a lot if you use so few pitchers unless you are just in an era where that is considered normal....
For a modern day league I would want to see how they fared in a 5 man rotation vs normal starters and in a full bullpen vs other relievers.
