Is this an option somewhere in game? I have all ratings off except for fielding, speed and stamina which are 1-5. I have a handful of player sin the league that are listed at 2 stamina and don't have the endurance to really be a starter.

One example is a guy who has started 31, 33 and 34 games the last three years and has thrown 169.1, 183 and 194.1 innings respectively. His ERA those year is about 4, but he can't even average 6 innings a start or throw more than 85 pitches.

I've seen quite a few guys like this, but I don't think a player like this exists in the modern major leagues.

I also think a good idea might be to implement some sort of 'stretching out' process which takes a couple of weeks if you're turning a reliever into a starter. Maybe the longer a pitcher has been a reliever, the longer it takes to convert, or something?

Any thoughts?
