I guess I'm not totally sure if it's a good idea to use him too much. Will that have a negative effect on the maximum SI he could reach? Updated Wednesday, September 21 2016 @ 3:25:39 pm PDT

Are you contending in your league, or battling for relegation? I needed a #5 starter about 1/3rd of the way into the season because my guy legit crapped the bed, so I threw in Sheng and he pitched extremely well. He ended up being my best starter and now is my #1 SP for the future. It shouldn't have an effect on his max SI, he will reach it or not regardless of you starting him.
