My house rule is to only increase Stamina (and not by too much) for RP who have started or are converting to SP in the present MLB season. And normally I don't change guys who are true short guys with Stamina under 20. Those guys will have to go to the dev lab in the off-season.

I wonder how the game engine looks at RP starting. In a past version, I think 23, I noticed lots of RP getting starts in September, as if they were under some innings total for the year, and the AI thought they had extra capacity. Small sample, but many of these guys would pitch well into games, and pitch effectively. I don't think that should happen, absent some prep like ramping up in the minors, or extensive long relief usage.

One thing I like is that a RP with only two or three effective pitches does not translate well, in terms of Stuff, to SP. He needs another pitch. That should be a task limited to the dev lab in the offseason.

Suddenly converting a RP to SP without prep should increase the risk of injury.
