I completely agree. Right now, you can sorta' do that by making the rotation size equal the staff size. Obviously, that only works for staffs that have six or fewer pitchers, since OOTP's max rotation size is six. But, as I mentioned in my post, the league rotation size is also connected to pitcher stamina, so a bigger league rotation size means that pitchers recover from starts more slowly. That leads to ahistorical results where the pitchers at the bottom of the "rotation" get too many starts.
