Do you really think you are giving yourself an advantage over the AI by making Dave Giusti a starter instead of a reliever? It's Dave Giusti. We aren't talking about unretiring Sandy Koufax.
Sure, it depends upon your approach. If you are trying to prove that you can defeat the AI, then it would not be a fair move. If you are just playing for pleasure, I don't see that it guarantees your team will dominate.

That depends on whether you think it's easier (in $ or personnel spent to acquire) to find a SP or a RP who has roughly the same value as Giusti. I think we all know the answer to that one.
The AI doesn't have that luxury. A pitcher magically transforms from a starter to a reliever and there's nothing it can do about it. Suddenly it has to go out and find another SP. It is an advantage...All that being said the OOTP police are not going to show up at Exorcst's door, hold a gun to his head and say "Play this way or else". He can do what he wants. I'm just trying to illustrate the pros and cons of it.
