I can tell you that the first place you need to start at is the Pitcher Endurance setting in th Strategy Tab. Set Pitcher Endurance to VERY LOW. The SP Endurance Modifier will automatically correct the SP's up to the where they need to be, but by setting Endurance to Very Low in the strategies tab you will get more realistic usage ut of your bullpen. If you even bump Pitcher Endurance up to "Low" you will see far too many RP's racking up over 100 IP per season out of the bullpen.

Now, the Use Relievers and Use Closers settings are also tied to how many total pichers the AI will carry on the staff. I suggest setting both of these to Very Often. I also suggest setting Pinch Hit for Pitchers to Very High.

Start with these settings and then tinker with them.

I can also test out some solutions in beta testing for getting afew more CGs out of the SP's.

Remember, there are also strategy settings for each individual player. For example, you can tell the AI to have more/less patience with pulling certain pitchers out of the game.
