Piniella's Idea
Lou Piniella, manager of the Devil Rays, hinted at starting games with relievers and putting the starters in the game around the 3rd inning. Why on earth would an intelligent baseball man want to do that?

"These kids never get a chance to pitch meaningful innings, to pitch the seventh, eighth and ninth innings," Piniella said. "I think pitch counts rob Minor League pitchers of that opportunity, and this would allow them to do that."

That's true, I never thought of it that way. That's a great point. He did also add that he won't be trying it any time soon.
