Alright SDS, pick your pitcher was fun in theory....

Everyone choosing Kluber right now isn't much different than SDS "randomly" selecting Kershaw/Kershaw match ups for 9 out of every 10 games for the first two months of 19. At least this year when there are more 99 starting pitchers available you won't get stuck with the same guy every single game.
I still believe making the switch was the right idea and I hope they keep it for next year. It just needs to be tweaked. Many have mentioned that stamina regenerates too quickly, and that is the biggest issue. Another possible solution would be to alter the rate at which stamina depletes if you bring a guy back on short rest. Maybe have his stamina deplete at 1.5x the normal rate or something like that. Give players an incentive to stick to a regular 5 man rotation if you don't want it done all the time.
I also think that if you bring a starter out of the pen, their stamina should deplete even faster than that. Maybe have it deplete at 2x the normal rate. That would prevent players from doing it on a regular basis, and it would be reserved for desperate times (For example, when you're one game away from World Series).

Keep it. Lock starting pitchers out for 2 games if they drop below 50% stamina. Easy solution.

Online play needs to go back to random pitchers or make it where you pick 3 or 4 games of starters, than after those games you can change it up. Right now you can use 2 starters and bring them out of the pen at any time. Between this and good/okays and dropped fly balls I’m not playing.
