Re: Re: Relief Pitchers as Starting Pit

I definitely use this all the time. Very hard to find an elite starter for under 3 DWAR, but you can often find 2-3 elite RP- SP (like 1WHIP, 0.6 H/9) for under that price. An easy way to find them is do a search filter for SP max 3 WAR and look for the best ratios. If they show up under the SP filter, but are labeled as RP, that means they started atleast 1 game that season, and therefore can be converted to SP. So add them, go to your roster, click the player's name, and there's a box labeled Change Role, and you can change them to SP (but likely with a 40 pitch count). I would never have 3 in my starting rotation, but 2 spaced out in the rotation with a 3rd as Long Relief (or emergency starter) is reasonable. Use the WAR you saved on the top end of your bullpen (and make sure you go 6-7 deep), on 2 elite starters, or 1 more slugger for the lineup.
