This is an interesting thread -- so many approaches.
I use a six-man rotation (often because I'm not completely sure what five I'll settle on) and stretch them out as the spring goes on. First start, 50 pitches, then 60, and so on. I have a similar system for relievers who are capable of going long; the guys who don't go long are on a 20-pitch count all spring.
For position players, I avoid starting anybody two days in a row, and more or less rotate everybody. In the second half of spring training I have multiple cut-down dates to gradually cull the roster toward 25.
