Ron Guidry set as a RP.

Kind of cool that he was the AL Reliever of the Year in 1976. I thought the game would automatically adjust him to a SP in 1977, which is what happened to my own Jack Morris after a year in the minors as a RP. Didn't notice that the game didn't adjust Guidry until seeing he won the Reliever award again in 1977. So the talent to have a 16-7, 2.82 ERA and 6.1 WAR season was wasted with a terrific 2.7 WAR relief season.

I adjusted him prior to the 1978 season. But it would have been nice if the game looked at his 1977 season (25 starts and 210 IP) and adjusted him to a SP with SP endurance. A third of his 70s prime of 1977-79 went down the drain.
