I just ran a test and confirmed that Bruce is correct.

I simmed through the 2009 season and Smit pitched in 29 games, all as a starter, even though I changed his position from starter to middle reliever.

I also had another prospect I wanted to move to the bullpen. I also changed his position from starter to middle reliever. That pitcher was given 30 starts and no relief appearances.
