I don't think anybody was saying that the game makes relievers worse than starters, RonCo. I think people were saying that it came out that way. In addition, as TangoTiger is pointing out (my Joe Morgan senses are tingling with AGONY here, people), all things being equal, relievers *should* outperform starters. This concept predates Tony LaRussa, so no, I don't think you can just put it down to the game not using LOOGYs effectively.

The quick fix here is IMO the best: give relievers a boost in ratings the first time they go through a lineup in a game. Simple and yet probably the most realistic way there is to do this.
