Better late than never...

Pitchers that are relievers get a "stuff" bonus. This is done as means of reflecting that relievers will typically throw with more effort knowing they don't have to touch as many innings.

When changing position to starting pitcher he is losing that stuff bonus so the game now sees him as a less effective pitcher.
