It should be noted that Cotton is a SP with the Astros organization.

Thanks , keep us updated. I think Cotton will be the surprise of this group.

Cotton is being viewed as a starter but Houston is piggy backing a pair of "starters" in each game and they each only pitch a few innings, sometimes as the starter and sometimes as the reliever. That's why he only has 27 ip in 7 games.

Yes I would imagine most teams manage workloads for their short season teams since many of the pitchers just completed a season. But Houston does this for the full season teams also. They let the competition play out for the first few months and then begin to extend the pitch counts and workloads of those that have separated themselves.
For the short season teams it is probably a combination of both thought processes.
