in my online league, some clubs use their best pitcher on 3 days rest throughout the entire season, racking up over 300 innings of work, making like 45 starts, all with great success.
I personally think that's kind of ridiculous... I would think it pretty reasonable if players that are used in this way for several seasons should collapse in spectacular ways and have their careers irreversibly shortened.
I mean, in real life, no matter how tough a player is, he's not gonna pitch 300 innings in a season, maybe back in the day they did, but then again major league pitchers didn't throw fastballs at 95mph back then... but there must be a reason teams don't rely on a single pitcher for 300 innings of play a year.
