And i'm certain if you put a RP who had 3 great pitches as a starter in OOTP he would do well as well, just be limited in his innings. I've made a player perfect in all ratings except stamina was low enough to make him a RP. He was my 5 starter, record was 18-4 or something i believe just had almost half the pitch count of the Ace.
It was more then just fear of injury that moved Smoltz to the bullpen, the point is what optimized his value while giving him a very low pitch count. He could of stayed the ace with a limited pitch count but he was better used as the closer. Rather then give him a pitch count that would limit him to say 5 innings he was better for the team to be the closer.
able to perform effectively is what gives the pitcher his role, if that means from the bullpen then that's where his pitches from.
In OOTP it's all about the stamina and number of pitches that determine the roles and that shouldn't be
