I'd be interested to see how well games played by relief pitchers for a simmed season matches up with games played by relief pitchers in real life. My guess is that for the modern game, OOTP's simmed season will produce higher numbers than real life. This would affect fatigue in ways that wouldn't be so obvious if you were only looking at innings pitched or pitches thrown.

I have noticed that in the MLB games I have simmed, games pitched by relievers are noticibly higher than the real life totals. I generally see several RP's pitch over 80 games per year. That is a very unusual total to see in real life. In fact, last year only about 10 relievers even pitched in as many as 70 games.
