I agree wholeheartedly with seamar. While I respect your position on the issue, the truth of the matter is that so-called "game throwing" is, has been, and will always be, part of this game, and I see nothing wrong with owners running out $200k pitchers. Whether out of necessity or simply to rest their starters, it's their team and can run it however they see fit. Me personally, I ALWAYS use a $200K scrub for the first game of the season, and sometimes two or three times in the first five games due to the 'damp' factor which, as we all know, can ruin your pitching staff at the start of a season.
