I'm using 66' Fergie Jenkins in a theme league and trying to figure out where he's best suited to help maximize his impact.
He has 182 IP/162 but in RL he made 12 starts and 48 relief appearances. So his IP/G is only 3.0 and I'm assuming as a SP he'll suffer a lot of fatigue issues. But he's better than any other SP I have, so I'd like to use him there if he'll be successful.
The other option is to make him a workhorse reliever and spot starter and hope he helps keep me in games while my potent offense tries to come through.
I just haven't tried a guy with low IP/G in the rotation before and don't know what to expect if I do.

Unless you're gonna do a tandem where he throws 50 pitches before he gets subbed out, it's not worth it to start him. I've made that mistake before, have a guy with 100+ innings but only like a 4 IP/G and made him a starting pitcher (Kris Medlen) and it failed miserably, he had like a 10 ERA before I switched him to the bullpen
