We can use the pitching registers to get a decent approximation of starting results versus relief results. Toss out any pitchers who have made both starts and relief appearances, then use the ones who have appeared in strictly one role to get an idea of the results we're seeing.

We'd be interested in the following numbers:

ERA so we need IP and ER's.
Hits allowed
Strikeouts
Walks
HR

Convert IP, Hits, HR, SO, and BB to a rate stat of per 9 innings.

I won't have time this afternoon to work on this, but it could be very helpful for us to crunch these numbers and see how OOTP is performing compared to real-life which can be found at Retrosheet.

Here are the rates I got after eliminating the pitchers who were used in both rolls.

	RP	SP

H/9	9.04	8.89
ERA	4.30	4.00
K/9	6.92	6.94
BB/9	3.77	2.92
HR/9	0.94	0.91
