This way the starts will be spread over 7 guys and the entire staff will have relief appearances as well.

I get mad right now when you try and set it to a 6 man rotation, Always start the highest rested, because the game wants to spread the starts over 5 guys with the occasional start by #6. This too severely limits the number of starts by the teams 2 best pitchers.

I completely agree.
