Another problem I think is in the games coding, where starters are valued over relievers no matter what, so if the CPU is looking to fill a bullpen spot they would rather use a starter.

You'll also see starting pitchers age and be transferred to the bullpen. Pretty much every starter, even extremely talented, hall of fame starters will pitch in the bullpen as they age.

I think this needs to be looked at


Just bumping this. I know most of you guys like to play historical, but for those of us who don't, this is an issue I have noticed to be a problem. When 11 of 12 pitchers on all cpu teams are starters or former starters, I think it needs to be addressed.
