I'm admittedly not a huge fan of thinking that strategy will work. You get about 800 IP out of your starters if you go 5 IP a game. You need about 600-700 IP out of your bullpen then. You can do it but you need a real deep pitching staff. People already get nervous when we bring in our 5th, 6th, 7th relievers. You really need to lean on them in this scenario.
