I agree, but was trying to think of a "like" punishment.

i.e - There are 162 games in a season. If you suspend a position player for five games (for whatever reason), that's 3% of his potential season. If a starting pitcher were expected to start 30 games and was to be suspended for the equivalent 3%, that equals one start. What about relievers? What's the best way to do this?
