Could part of the problem be that the game changes anyone not in the starting rotation into a MR? So you only have five slots, which turns some pitchers who may actually have a decent future into MR, then get dumped, another the AI sees the endurance/potential signs them, may or may not put them in the rotation and so on.

I would hazard a guess the reason with the MAL quickstart it happens in June and July so much is because the draft happens and teams get a bunch of new pitchers, some of which will be better than others, moving people out of rotations and such.

Just looking around at a bunch of the players, the ones that seem to finally stick with a team are those who finally found a team where they would go into the rotation and would be changed back to a SP.

Maybe the AI needs to not value MRs with high endurance so much?
