This isn't the 60 or 70's.Even the late 90's dynasty Yankees had a good not great rotation but a stellar bullpen.Look at the Phillies last year.THey wouldn't win if Lidge,Madison and Romero wasn't dominate in the Regular and Post-Season.

If they were good positional players, they would have a starting gig elsewhere. Obviously some pitchers are relievers, and some are damn good. About them, you could still say that if they were good *as a starter* then as a starter should they remain. But mostly about bench positional players.
