Assuming we have an innings pitched limit, it should be for the entire staff - starting pitchers and relief pitchers. In my opinion, if the goal of fantasy baseball is to simulate real-world baseball, then the number of innings pitched for a fantasy baseball staff should closely follow the number of innings pitched for a real-world staff (162 x 9 innings + allowance for extra innings).

I know I keep going back and forth on this but the point made by JL reminded me of another reason why I preferred the innings limit last year. The 162-games started method prevents manipulation of starting pitching but not relief pitchers. Only an innings pitch limit prevents the manipulation of both.

I go back to preferring the innings pitched limit.

Check back again with me tomorrow when I switch again.
