But then they set up a three man playoff rotation with Jason Motte as their no 1 pitcher! Motte had been their closer and hadn't started any games that year. And his stamina was only 3 out of 20. In the NLCS he then started game 2 and came back for game 4 on two days rest! Later on he again started on short rest. Very strange as Cards had Lohse and Garcia available as well both with good stats and ratings. Never seen something like that before in OOTP. In another simulation I saw the Rays converting Fernando Rodney into a starter as well.
In the league set-up you can select how the AI should evaluate players. If you select use according to RL stats relievers are less likely to be converted into starters. AI doesn't know names off course it only sees ratings. Still strange that they would turn a closer with a stamina of only 3 into a starter at the beginning of the play-offs.

I've seen this in last year's game too and it might be something Markus could take a peek at? Although the team that did that in my universe won the World Series, so go figure.
