This spring the Tampa Bay Rays announced they were going to go with a four man rotation through the first six weeks of the season. This isn’t all that unusual as April typically has more scheduled off days than any other month.
Yesterday Kevin Cash talked about the potential for it to be used throughout the season. The headlines read four man rotation. In a world where there are multiple teams talking about extended use of a six man rotation this is only natural. Pitchers aren’t going to be pitching on shorter rest than they have become accustomed.
