Justin,

It seems like teams really want workhorses, look at Barry Zito, his prior performance really didn't warrant the contract that he got. But the guy has been a steady workhorse that eats up innings.

It makes a difference to the entire staff when somebody can do that. The relievers enter games later. You might need fewer starters in the rotation. It works out pretty well.
