It's more that less than a 4-man rotation of "normal" starters really isn't possible, so that was disallowed.
As I said, if you want the "all-opener" strategy, using 4 guys and having them set to also pitch in relief should work to a certain degree, especially if you use the "always start highest rested". But again, OOTP 19 isn't exactly set up to model the "opener" pattern, so I can't guarantee whether that will actually work better for you than the "traditional" rotation would.
