Has anyone ever heard of an owner pitching all 5 of their starters every day for 25-30 pitches each?...

It's what zbrent used to do with a couple of teams that had good relief pitchers and low stamina starters and he had quite a bit of success. But they have now changed the minimum pitch count setting for starters to 40.

I wonder even with High Duribility if a pitcher can pitch 40 every day, or at least every otherday

Certainly not every day, because you only recover from fatigue with a day off.  Every other day wouldn't work either, as you would probably need a durability of at least 45 to do that.

Gonna find out with Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Matt Christensen.  Possibly as early as next season.

I'm thinking his durability might be a tad low for something like this.

I present the incredible and absurd Ivan Johnson:

wow that Ivan dude is the 6 million dollar man!  the only way he could be better really is if he had a 3rd pitch then he could conceivably start every other game and probably pitch an average of 5 innings each start.  Finishing up with possibly 400 IPs.  probably finishing with 40-45 wins each season too.

Top it all off he is Canadian!   :)

Ivan is absurd.  Even without the third pitch I would be tempted to make him a starter, set him at about 70 pitches a game and continually move him up in the rotation.  Give him about 50 starts a year, 350-400 innings a year. 

Finding the high durability, decently high stamina guy that is also a good pitcher is the pot of gold.

I am hoping that this guy develops into such a pitcher, but he needs to progress another year or two to hit that mark. Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Bruce Blowers

Bruce is going to be an enigma.  even if he adds 10 more pts to his splits and control he will be somewhat inconsistent.  His pitches kick butt for sure, but enough to make up for the bad splits and control?  I dont know... I dont think he will add 10 more pts though, 5-7 at most, and his dur sta might increase by 1 or 2 at most, which is fine really...

Pitchers like this need to have a pull of 3, because he will get blown out 1/3rd of the time, 1/3 of the time he will do well, and the other 1/3 he will be a rockstar...

Currently he is progressing at a rapid pace, and projects to vL72 and vR83 with a stamina of 53.

If he can reach vL 68 and vR77 with a stamina of mid to high 40's I think he will pan out pretty well.  If he doesn't become a wierd kind of starter, he should make a very dependable, massive innings LRA.
