Has all of the innings limits reduced the incidence of arm injuries? From all I can find the answer is a resounding "NO." Do all pitchers get worse as they progress through the line up multiple times. Historically the answer is again "NO" many aces were (and are) the kind of guys you had to get to early or you were doomed. (which is why it's a terrible idea to bring Kershaw in as a reliever just because it's the post season. He is much more vulnerable at the beginning of an outing.)

Maybe treat pitchers like individuals and find out the capacities and capabilities for each one instead of deciding that a one size fits all approach is ideal.

Oh, and give Mike Marshall a call, especially if you're a team with budget issues, what do you have to lose???
