The learning new roles for pitcher is a rollover from v5 when the players had a pitching endurance for SP and MR/CL seperately. Putting points into this pot would attempt to give them a rating in the other endurance category. This is a moot point in v6 as it's a combined scale.

In v6, I use my own rule for the endurance rating. If the pitcher has an endurance rating of 3, I use him in the swingman role (both in the rotation and in the pen). Players with higher endurance ratings but poor stuff could be relievers. These men are important for the long relief role, if the starter gets pulled early due to injury or a bad outing.

If I have the space available in the minors, I promote prospects with a 3 endurance rating to the rotation if there's room (over the "ghost" players). If I have 5 SPs at that level already, then they stay in the pen. The theory is that SPs with a 3 can easily throw 5 or 6 innings.
