Your proposed use of pitchers is more like cricket than baseball, and I'm sure that it would run into furious resistance from players (and their agents). If teams bulled ahead and adopted it anyway, Opening Pitchers would gradually become a valuable commodity and start commanding the salaries that starters get today. Meanwhile, Long Middle Inning Pitchers - today's starters - would probably remain able to command almost as much as they do now. In the end, after all their objections, the players would wind up richer than ever.
