Just don't do it the way the Nationals did a couple of years ago with Stephen Strasburg. They might have won the World Series that year if they had mananged his innings limit properly.

The Nats were F'ing stupid. If you find yourself where one of your best young pitchers is at an inning limit but you are going to the playoffs, you have to just go for it. The pitcher isn't going to say no and shut himself down. Make him throw, and try to get him the best help available to recover in the offseason.
