I'll buy into that. I think that endurance changes from a strictly "I'm tired" perspective to more of an indication of effectiveness as a starter. That pitcher with 100mph fastball but nothing else is overpowering the first time around, but you can get used to the speed and catch up to it the next time you see him.
It's not EXACTLY endurance, but it is better than putting in a whole seperate rating for "multi-inning effectiveness".
