If that's the case, you guys need to patch this. I don't look at "position" with pitchers, I look at "Primary Role" and "Secondary Role." And I can't imagine I'm alone in that. Frankly, position shouldn't matter at all in pitching staff.

If setting position affects performance and AI in game decisions, that's just silly (and definitely needs a patch). I assumed that setting position was for the user to easily remember if they want to use a player at an alternate position (I had a SS that was a good 2B, and needed a 2B so I set his position to 2B so I could easily find him in my Reserve list). I do expect a performace drop off since the player has a 2B level and an SS level, but I still expect all the other rules (fatigue, batting ratings) to be the same. For pitching, the ratings are the ratings, and the behaviors should be based on the user-set sliders, not on some confused AI because an SP is assigned as a reliever. Otherwise stamina is pointless if the AI is going to look at an SP and decide it cannot put in an SP late in the game, regardless of fatigue.
