Starters carry a burden.

Today in baseball, there are some men who play starter, who may not look like they are keeping up with others around them. Maybe the let up a bunch of runs in just the first few innings. Many people just say "oh it is just their fielding, the pitcher is fine". In some cases that may be true, but you cant just rely on their fielding. I mean sure the fielders have a heavy burden too, but your pitcher shouldnt be letting up 15 hits a game either. What i think is one of the main issues is that some starters dont have enough stamina, and they only pitch 4 or 5 innings, and yet they have long relievers who have pitched 7 innings, because the starters didnt feel like pitching their best. Some starters just need to give up the starting role to those who are actually going to give it  their all. Before John Maine became a starter, he was a long reliever. Willy Randolf of the mets saw he had potential, and started him in his first game, and we now know John Maine today as one of the most Underrated starters in the League today. Hopefully this will continue in the future.
