In a few experiments, I've seen a pretty severe hit to the reliever I was trying to convert. One guy who was at 4/4 stars as a CL went to something like 0.5/3.5 as soon as I flipped the switch to "SP". So I'm thinking in practice, yeah, you need to give the guys time to get used to the change.

I'm also noticing more method to the madness of how my scouting director evaluates draft picks. I kept wondering why he was favoring these one-star or lower guys over SPs with 2-3 stars. On further investigation, the SPs he was passing on were almost all "borderline starters" or "emergency starters," usually with only two decent pitches.

Do pitchers ever add new pitches to their repertoire?
