I simmed the 1974 season using Garlon's suggested league modifiers. The number of innings pitched does, indeed, seem rightly divided between starters and relievers. However, the 5-man rotation tends to leave many SPs short of their historical GS. Consequently, they fall short of their historical IP (as well as K, BB, etc.). Nolan Ryan, for example, led the league with 264 K in 209 IP in the sim. IRL, he led the league with 367 K in 332.2 IP.
