And slowly increase it, so the AI manager isn't throwing him 130 pitches?
I tell ya, the game is going to rate him as a starter if those pitches get better, despite the low stamina, unless they tweaked the design a bit. It just does not make sense. I ignore the starter designation if I see a red or orange number for stamina.

Sure, you can set a pitch count that low on him but what's the sense then of making him a SP? And I forget whether you can build up a player's stamina that way; I think not.

Besides, I think he would be a good set up man, if not the closer, if he works up to his potential.
