While true, I don't see any negative difference in making the pitchers "role" their position.
It doesn't restrict the user or the AI in anyway. To me, it offers an "endurance filter" without having to set up the filter.
That said. I've never liked "endurance" as a rating. I think almost all big leaguers could be starters if that was the work load they were given on a regular basis. It has always bugged me, that a guy is stuck a career reliever - when I know that more than likely he was the #1 ace starter on his HS/college/etc. team.
As a Tiger fan, Joel Zumaya is one of a million examples. He is slotted as a setup reliever, and future closer. Probably give him a "2/10" endurance rating. Joel was a minor league starter, as well as before. The Tigers just feel that he is best suited to come out for an inning every other game, bring the heat, and be done. Not that he isn't capable of being a starter if that's what they wanted him to do.
