I'll stress again that you need around 600 total stamina to
field a staff that won't be completely fatigued.

Mike, if a LR has low stamina, like in the 25-30 range how well are they able to go on back to back nights, or do you need to make sure you have at least 2-3 guys in LR with that stamina?

25-30 is a no unless he has some solid durability, that's
more important for recovery. You'll need about 3 if they're
that low. You can adjust their PC and maybe get by with 2.
But a LR with a PC of 25 isn't ideal in my mind.

question on the budget.. should i move money around or leave it the way it was?
6/6/2006 11:58 AM
All my SP have stamina of 70 or over and I've had no fatigue issue with them... I've even be increasing their pitch counts above the recomended to try and help my pen....
If you use starters under 70 you are gonna put even more pressure on your pen....

It really depends on the talent you have and what strategy you are going to use... win now, or suck now and win in the future...

My guideline:
70+ starter
50-69 spot starter/long reliever
25-49 long reliever/set-up
>25 closer/set-up
Don't forget about the tandem starting role - if you have a couple of guys in the 50-70 stamina range with low durability, pair them up in a tandem role. If they have low durability they're better designed for that role than for relief.

Good point, jmb. If I lost a starter to injury, I'd probably tandem
Drese/Ingram and move Burke to LR as opposed to starting him.
If you short your BP too much, you'll dig a huge hole.

I also found out that durabilty is an important stat for relievers. All the relievers that had injuries so far were low on durability

What's a good baseline for deciding starter vs long relief vs set up/mopup/close


19 stamina. He Can't start period. I would not even consider the guy for long relief. As a setup or a closer if he has high durability

I have a reliever with 20 stamina but over 60 durability that has pitched in most of my games without fatigue problems. In the 25-30 range , that kind of guy, i would put as a setup or closer

Those numbers will actually improve provided that our trade goes through later today as he will gain a 90 stam, approximately 27 dur guy to take the place of Sullivan.

And you never know how it will play out. When i looked at my team, i tought that my team would do quite well on offense and that my pitching was good but unreliable.
After 16 games, my offense is the worst in the league and my pitching fifth for ERA and 1st for WHIP.
And in top of that , my top starter and my top reliever are on the DL.
I see big problems ari="sing" when they come back. The AAA pitchers i promoted are doing the job. They have options . All my other pitchers are out of options.
So i might have to trade away a couple of ML pitchers.
