How to Handle Pitcher With This Type of Stamina.. Topic

Hey guys,

I'm still pretty new in the hardball dynasty world so I have a question about a pitcher I have on a team I just took over for.  He's a guy with 56 stamina with excellent ratings in most other categories, and I've love to get as much quality use out of him as I can without injuring him or causing him to pitch when he's not at his optimum level.  In your experience(s), how should a guy like this be handled?  What is his roll on my big league club?

Any insight will be greatly appreciated!  Thanks guys!

Id start him I typically use a 4 man rotation id use him every 4th game u prolly will get 150 or so innings outa him.  Id start with 40-50 pitches and adjust as needed.

Ditto, *except* you can get more than 150 out of him in the right circumstance (good pitch calling and/or pitchers park and/or above average D) because he's going to put the ball in play (low velocity) and on the ground (high GB/FB)

 Oscar Parrish is not far off yours, and I can get over 180. Richmond is a neutral park, and yours is a touch under dur/stamina...170 is not unreasonable.

Agreed with Brian -

70 pitch Target & Max in a 4 man roration.  He will get you 175+ innings.

Here's another player with rating similar to yours http://www.whatifsports.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=1834766

Granted, I'm not the owner who got the most innings out of him, but appx 180 is not out of the question. Ol' Tex here even broke 200 one season (and won the CY).

I tried to experiment with ways to get him more innings as his stamina dropped, but nothing beat having him in the rotation. I'd try out JPs rec if I were you.
