2009-03-25 13:00:00 (link to chat)	How is it that pitchers regularly threw over 300 innings 30 years ago but now 200 is considered a "ceiling?" (Kevin from LA)	Easy. Five-man rotation. Don Drysdale threw 300 over 42 starts in 65. CC Sabathia got 250 on 35 and he only got that many because he was going on "short rest" a couple times. A four-man rotation would give us a lot more 200 inning guys and get rid of the lousy fifth starters. The ONLY argument against four-man is fatigue and it can be designed in a way that would actually reduce fatigue. I used to say some team would try it and get a big advantage. I'm less sure now that it will happen again, but there's no good reason why. (Will Carroll)
