Using Pitchers as Pinch Runners

padresgm · 04-05-2014, 06:08 PM

I have two pitchers on my roster (3rd and 4th starter) who can run like the wind.

(20 to 80 scale)
Pitcher #1:
80 speed
80 stealing
60 baserunning

Pitcher #2:
65 speed
80 stealing
75 baserunning

The two pitchers would be my two best runners on the bench for my team, and I was wondering if anybody had experience using starting pitchers as pinch runners. I'm headed into the playoffs, and have them listed as my #1 and #2 pinch runners. Is there an increased risk of injury? Will the game put them in if they are tired?

Don't know if the AI will but I would. I remember the padres used to have Jake Peavy pinch run in several occasions
