Not true. The obvious fix would be for the AI to not just look at the pitcher's stated role, but to view the pitcher's role based on his games started. A true reliever will have few, if any, games started. That way, people can't take a reliever and make him a starter just for the purpose of making the trade, just to fool the AI, because the AI won't just be looking at the stated role, but the stats behind it (which is really what you'd realistically like the AI to do anyway...because it's what a human GM would do).
True, if you're serious about playing the game, then just don't do it. But still...these kinds of things just give you less confidence in the AI as a whole, because they're so easily resolved.
