EDIT: Wait, I get what you're saying now. By allowing Sharpe to get his rest after he pitches, he automatically misses almost the rest of the series. So yeah, you're kind of forced to start him either as a pitcher or a position player. Don't really see another way around that, unfortunately.

Yes, that was my basic concern. Since he has performed so poorly in the minor leagues when he was being "pushed" into the lineup and so well when I forced him to rest, I wanted to make sure he rested normally. So if I started him in Game 2, I would have to rest him in Game 1 and Game 3. Then probably play him in Game 4/5. Then pitch in Game 6 and potentially have to rest him in the most important game, although I suppose I could always just force him into the lineup as he'd have time to rest after the series. But his offense level was so high I decided to just play him in the field every day, since I already had four starters (five, actually) aside from him.
My plan is still a work in progress and I suppose I should admit I am just stubborn sometimes.
