Yeah, I don’t know how you’d do this… right now you can just kind of pretend it’s the case that a guy had a throw day when you drop him into the rotation and you’re set to go. Generally, there are reasons why you put players on relief, though, and the fact that they can’t go 7 is usually up there, whether that’s straight stamina or number of pitches.
