I think if I had a C that could play 162 games I might go to 13 pitchers. 

On one team I have two C that can both hit have 93 and 98 stamina. Those are the guys to have. After reading a MikeT thread I started using one in RF. 

Me, too, actualy.

But getting back to the OP... I'd keep a guy who's better defensively, and sub him in on D a little earlier.

DUR is roughly = percentage of total innings a guy can play.  if you shave off a few at the end of games, you're likely to get a handful more starts.  But 77's awfully low to make that work, unless he's a 7 or 8 hitter.

Maybe even consider batting him lower in the lineup to get more total starts?  PAs play a role in tiring a player out, too.

If you can get a SS with a PC of 40, he can be your utility player (and in a pinch, the #2 catcher).  I have a player like that at AAA, who next season will be a SS/CF/2b depth player, and act as the #3 catcher, allowing me to carry an extra pitcher.
