I think its important to make this clear:

1) There was no reason in OOTP5 not to run a 4 man rotation in a 5 man era, or a 3 man rotation in a 4 man era. The reason being once you had three days of rest, the pitcher was completly rested. There is no difference.

2) There are big reasons not to in OOTP6. On the 4th day, in OOTP6, pitchers are still tired. This is new. They will therefore perform worse.

I for one am happy with the change. Even if it proably isn't a 100% accurate sims, and (as a guy who uses a 4 man roto in a 5 man era in an on-line league) its nice to know that my attempts to drag my floundering expansion team out of the gutter won't be allowed when we convert!
