Which is why in a standard OOTP game he goes from 40/45/70 to 45/45/70 if you move him from SP to RP.
He would *absolutely* be more effective per-inning as a reliever than as a starter, just like every other pitcher in the history of baseball. No one is saying every mediocre starter can turn into Rivera or Gagne; just that they all get a tick up in the pen.
