His card obviously states him as a BORDELINE STARTER.
Just my opinion, but i've noticed thru the years I've played changing a Starter to a Closer bumps up ratings & I think because of more types of pitches he throws

Good catch. Notice that the assessments of Jorge Ventura as a closer all agree that he's a 4-star talent. All assessments of him as a starting pitcher agree he's a 2-star talent. If you look at his very low control attribute and that fact that he only has 2 good pitches, this difference makes a good amount of sense.
The take home point would be to make sure to compare apples to apples as far as future/potential role.
