How would you use this pitcher? Starter or SUA Topic

If I had 4 other good SPs, I'd make him a SUA. If I had 3 or fewer good SPs, I'd start him.

I'd almost definitely start him.

On my tablet, so forgive the lack of hyperlink, but http://www.whatifsports.com/HBD/Pages/Popups/PlayerProfile.aspx?pid=3685189

So if he's starting, so should your guy.

the dur sta is awfully low for him to be a starter.  Id bet he would rarely go 5 innings so he would rarely get any wins, and your bullpen will get a bit tired on his starts.  Id use him as a SUA he would likely get the most innings that way with the right settings.

Start him. You're not really concerned with his results, what's most important given what you've invested in him is maxing his development. IMO that means getting the most innings when he's 100%. You'll probably have to move him around in the rotation for a little extra rest. The problem with using him as a reliever is that if he gets into a few games in a row he will then need a few in a row off. That's been my experience, anyway.

If you have another guy, particuarly a lefty, with similar ratings he's a perfect candidate for a tandem set up.

I have entire staffs built around those DUR/STM types.    If he's one of your best 5, start him.

Best example:  Hardball Dynasty – Fantasy Baseball Sim Games - Player Profile: Will Rowan

36 starts, 162 innings.   Pitches 5 about half the time.

If you want to get the most innings out of him possible he will need to start.

The argument that your bullpen will experience fatigue if he starts is wrongheaded. Getting the most innings possible from each of your pitchers is the best way to avoid fatigue.

I see him as more of an LRB.  Just not very good anywhere you put him.

He's 20yrs old.. You place him at the pos. that will get him the most IP, which is starter.. 

I'm guessing that he ends up with 65ish ST and he will be a solid 150-175 IP SP in a few seasons.
