How many pitchers are actually drafted as relievers out of high school or college? Nearly all amateur pitchers enter the professional ranks as starters. This is not currently the case in OOTP.

Exactly what I was thinking on the first point, and you raise an excellent second point. One more thing: it's flat-out not realistic that some pitchers' endurance is 40 pitches as a starter. *Every* pitcher should be able to throw at least 85-90 pitches per game. As a parallel to real life, that's about the point Rick Honeycutt crapped out, and he was about as extreme a situational reliever as you could ever get.
