If your league is set up with 25 IP for relievers and 100 for SP, then for 3yr it will be 75 innings for relievers and 300 for SP. The same rules for batter AB apply to pitcher IP here.

Thanks again for checking back in. Do you mean that if a player pitches 35% or more of his games as a starter, meaning up to 65% of his games as a reliever, OOTP determines he is a starter for the purposes of recalc?
Beyond that, if you can help me with these questions, I think I can acquire a complete-enough understanding of it for my purposes:
- If a player does fall short of the minimum and must be adjusted, what numbers (or factors) do they use to adjust it? I had read somewhere that their IRL numbers are applied to the IP or AB they did achieve, then some replacement level (or maybe even lower than that) factor is applied to the remaining IP/AB to bring them up to the minimum for the recalc. If that's how it's done, any way you can confirm what those factors might be? Seems to me it might be even lower than replacement level ...
- Does a single season career year count twice for the player in a double-weight situation? Meaning, if a single-season player pitched just 40 innings in relief in his only season, does he get "double credit" up to 80 IP, and thus meet the 3-year reliever threshold of 75 IP to avoid adjustment with just 40 actual innings?
- If a guy like Jose Parra pitches in 2000, has a gap year, then 2002, gap year, then 2004, does the game treat that 2002 season like a single-season-career year?
- If I try to force a player to play in a year during a series of gap years, how would recalc treat that? Steve Avery is a good example: he pitched in 1999, then didn't pitch again until 2003. If I forced him to pitch in 2001, how would recalc treat that?
- My example of the player above, the guy with 0/0/40 HR in 100/100/600 AB across three seasons, when he busted out in the third year: even though the HR rate applies across all three seasons, including the first two when he got none IRL, does the fact that he played only 100 AB his first two seasons affect how I can use him in OOTP? Meaning, if I play him 600 AB all three years, will he have as much seasonal stamina in the first two years as the third, even though IRL he played way less in those first two?
