Duration for a Pitcher

When it comes to "duration as a starter/reliever" on average what does each letter equal out to as far as pitches thrown?

No set in stone answer... as I've seen "E" duration guys go 7-8 innings. Typically, your "A" should be able to go 8-9, "B" would be 7-8, "C"=6-7, "D" and "E" around 5.

Again, not cast in stone. I've always found, personally, that anyone "C" or better will last more than enough. Even Pedro has an "E" rating and goes 6+ on average.

Alot depends on how many strikeouts they get too. If you have an E duration that K's alot of batters, will be lucky to get 5 IP per start. Kinda sucks since the k's are pretty useless unless your defense sucks.
