I'm all for that, the thing I dislike the most about version 6.5 is the fact that the whole starter-reliever thing is kind of unrealistic. There has to be a way to make it so that relievers end up with better ERA's ( and peripherals ) than starters in general. Also... ( I don't remember if they fixed this in ver 6.5, but I know it was this way in 6.0 ) sometimes AI undervalued a lot pitchers with decent endurance(let's say 65 ) which they had labeled as MR ... I remember I could get a bunch of aces for cheap just because in their teams they were labeled as MR's even though they had a decent enough endurance to start games.
