You can switch SP to RP and/or CL and the reverse any time. No need to designate or retrain. About the only thing that isn't like real life is stretching out an RP's arm for starting. I put a pitch count on to mimic that; not really a big deal. Look carefully and you will see a "stuff" boost when certain SP are switched to RP. This again mimics what we know IRL. Keep in mind that many minor league prospects come into MLB as RP when they are SP at AAA or AA.
As for batters it may be my imagination but anytime I've switched positions somewhat permanently there seems to be a batting slump that follows. OTOH I've noticed that flipping RF/LF where there is a defensive stat benefit often improves a players mood.
