Now how does the game handle it, if for example, I let him DH every other day and use im as a regular SP otherwise, will his stamina recover enough to do so?
I've been using Otani as an occasional pinch hitter when he isn't pitching, and I've found he can't reasonably pitch every five days if he's batting on the days he doesn't pitch. You'll need to spot start a guy occasionally, because he'll be listed at 100% but not actually fully rested.
