and just get to how many times through the order you can get through- not by the #of innings you pitch

3x through - probably the #1 on half the teams
2x through - your typical starter
1x through- formerly long relief - If I was a GM I'd start exploiting the fact that this an underused talent in the league
You'll still have a sone 1-inning guys and a fireman.

A series would look like:
Game 1: 3x guy, 1-inning, 1 inning ("closer)
Game 2: 2x guy, 1x guy, 1-inninh, 1- inning
Game 3: 2x guy, 1x guy, 1x guy (closes out game)
Game 4: 1x guy, 1x guy, 1x guy, 1-inning guy, closer

You would have zero top line pitchers - Hickeytime MU
