The stamina number as an SP vs an RP is used entirely differently. There are RPs with 100 stamina ratings. One in my fictional league used it to throw ~180 IP over ~140 games (in a 200 game season, however). He'd probably be effective as a starter if he had a 3rd pitch, but he doesn't, so he was my setup guy and backup closer.
A starting pitcher with 30 stamina can still reliably give you 5-6 quality IP a game, they just won't be giving you 8+ IP on a frequent basis, even with multiple plus pitches.
If you're worried about the stamina rating, put Chapman into the rotation and put him on an 80-90 pitch count. He'll only be working 5-6 innings, and the lack of stamina shouldn't be derped through by the AI manager if you simulate games.
