Thanks for the explanation about the pitch mix, that makes sense.

Well here's his current ratings as an RP, then I'll change it and see what it is.

S/M/C: 80/75, 60/60, 55/55.
Fastball: 70/70.
Cutter: 70/70.
Slider: 75/75.
Splitter: 70/70.

(I just noticed all of these are pretty hard, nothing really off-speed except the splitter I guess, maybe that's a factor.)

Okay changing to SP.... You're right, all the changed was Stuff, which dropped from 80/75 to 70/70.

At least on paper this guy should be a top flight SP. Maybe I just need to give it some time?

Thanks.

PS Thanks Matt. Can you answer about the spring training aspect?

Also, is there any systematic way to "stretch" an RP as occurs IRL by having him throw more innings as an SP? Or am I just getting him shellacked for no reason?
