I played OOTP6 but am new to OOTP10 and am playing in a brand new online league. My question regards what to do with this 25 year old pitcher I have:

Player Report for #26 Miguel Fernández

He has 9 stamina and good ratings, so obviously I'd like him to start if possible. Currently the game recommends him for bullpen duty because he only has two pitches developed (a sinker and a changeup), and he has 96-98 MPH velocity and no fastball... When I toggled his position to SP he goes from a 3.5/4.5 MR to a 1.5/4.5 SP. The stuff potential rating and stuff current rating go down a bit but he maintains the 4.5 star potential.

So as it currently stands he is having pretty big control problems in the majors, so I'm thinking about sending him down to AAA. Should I send him down there and make him a starter and hope he develops a fastball or something? (FYI he has like 7 intelligence and 6 work ethic)

Also, how do I know when a pitcher develops a new pitch? Does it just magically show up one week?
