If he's listed as a MR, then his reliever endurance will go up from a C to a B while his starting endurance remains an E. Just make sure to toggle the player to the SP or MR/CL according to where u want endurance to increase.

Eric Gagne has become quite the formidable SP now that I've been able to increase his SP endurance up to a D from an E....:-)
That is true, and the reverse is one of the remaining Spring Training (ST) loopholes in OOTP. If you have an E endurance SP you can zero out stamina and he can't lose any endurance points since E is as low as you can go. Many of the ST effects only impact the primary defensive position or pitching role, for example increasing endurance as LJR describes above, or increasing the defensive range at the current listed prime position. Because of this quirk it's important to always change the defensive position or pitching role of a player before ST if you want to focus the ST benefits. I think most online league either do not allow ST changes or they create strict rules to restrict the loophole impact so if you are in an online league that allows ST adjustments you may as well take advantage of it.
