2025 numbers: 31 starts, 195 IP. That's a 6 1/3 per start average.

Sounds like he goes beyond 5 every game then.

Valdez and Skubal both go deep into games on a regular basis. The other 3 starters, not so much. IMO, Hinch needs to seperate the 2 workhorses so the BP doesnt possibly get overworked when Flaherty, Mize and JV pitch. Those 3 may get up into the 6th inning on some nights but there's always the possibility of only getting 5 innings out of them.

Here are the numbers (games wth 6+ IP / games started):

Skubal 23/31

Valdez 22/31

Verlander 12/29

Mize 11/28

Flaherty 9/31

I feel like Drew Anderson is going to play a huge role this year in the bullpen.

He and DeJesus could both be excellent finds and lengthen the pen.

As well as with periodic starts when needed...

IMO.
