I've never seen a pitcher rated MR develop into a starter. Doyle Alexander, Bob Knepper, Joaquin Anduar, are just some of the pitchers who should develop into good-to-great SPs that forever get stuck at MR.

Maybe this is a difference with historical and fictional leagues. I play fictional and have found some good starters in other teams' bullpens.I just had a guy go 21-3 as a #4 starter and his expectation was "bullpen assignment."
My gripe with pitchers is that the stamina rating never seems to change. I had a MR develop an adequate third pitch and I used him as an emergency starter after a season ending injury. He did OK, even winning a world series game, but his stamina stayed at 7.
