So you believe that although Adam Wainwright went from relief to starting in one off-season, and the Red Sox were all set to start Jon Papelbon this year, in OOTP you should have to send a pitcher to the minors for two seasons to develop the endurance required to start?
Are you saying that would be good gameplay? Or that it's true to life?
