Also, I know the sim deeply ingrains the need for pitching in all of us. LIVE in particular also makes you value depth because of how painful your life can be when you have to run bad starters out and watch them struggle. But I looked at some rough numbers, and I would guess that his one bat (Frisch) and the 7th AAA hitter he has to put in his lineup as a result of only having one bat are going to produce 125+ fewer runs together than several of the MVP draws already handed down. In order for that '86 Roger Clemens to compensate for that loss his ERA would have to be ~4 runs lower than the AAA who would pitch if he weren't on the roster. I'm not saying it won't be, but I'm definitely not saying it will. I'm sure there will be at least a few teams in this league whose last starter sports an ERA of 7. But it certainly won't be all the teams.
