Some one on here posted the stats about 4-man vs 5-man rotations a while back, and if I recall there was almost no difference in the effectiveness of the pitcher. So if that means beaing able to trot out your top 4 pitchers and avoid going to a 5th starter, why the heck not (although a guy getting paid 25 million really has little incentive to try to do 20% more starts for the same money).
And with the way the post season is spaced out, a 3 man rotation can start every 4 days.
