Does anyone know if the catcher ability rating affects the pitching staff in some way? All other things being equal, would a pitcher perform better throwing to a highly rated catcher for a full season? Would that same pitcher perform worse throwing to a poor catcher? I'm not sure if the catcher ability rating takes into account anything like pitch framing or pitch calling etc. This is what I'd like to know.

When you switch a pitcher from SP to RP they get a little boost to their stuff rating. Does anyone know if there's a downside to changing your entire starting staff to "RP" but leaving them in the rotation to make starts? Would they retain their stuff boost? Would their stamina be adversely affected by classification as RP?
