Sure, you could throw five different pitchers in there for an out a piece, but why? Its your league so do what makes you feel the realism, however, Very Low for stamina just wouldn't do that for me.

Yep, they pitched all those innings and didn't worry about their pitch count, yet they and many others still managed to not blow their arm out while pitchers today do it on a regular basis. Maybe there's something to be said for taking a full windup, and not throwing your hardest and going for strike outs because you're only expected to go six innings.
