So many starting pitchers....
Makes me wonder, with Breslow being the kind of guy who looks for an advantage. Remember a couple years ago, there was that graphic of all the different arm angles of the Ray's bullpen, and it looked like an octopus? What if he's trying to vary looks and the idea is to have the 4-5th spots be a combination of up and down from Triple AAA and riding the hot hand. You'd have such a breadth of styles, deliveries, pitch shapes that the other team would be disadvantaged scouting/experience wise.
If you can throw 8-10 different starting pitcher looks at a team over the course of a few series over a season, rather than seeing the same guys and being able to gameplay based on past experience....seems like that could be advantageous. Let alone the innings management of all these guys.
