Converting Pedro to SP

smossman14 · 10-25-2015, 09:00 PM

Hi all. I'm sure I'm not the first to ask this one...

I drafted a 20-yr old Pedro Martinez as a RP in my random start league. He's only a stamina 6 (1-100 scale), so is there any hope of converting him to a starter?

(Sorry if this is a double-post, I do not see my first attempt.)

That is awful. I don't know much about historical settings but I think there is a stamina recalc in there somewhere

He did start as a relief pitcher IRL. In his age 20 and 21 seasons, he made a total of 67 appearances and just 3 starts. By his age 22 season, he became a full-time starter and never looked back. I would assume OOTP Pedro will follow suit and that his stamina will be adjusted accordingly depending on your settings.

He will if recalc is being used.

This is true. Hadn't thought of that, but that's kinda why I said "depending on your settings".

I figured that's what you meant, but had the OP in mind. Never sure what people know and don't know about certain settings.

Right again DW. Right again. I was assuming things, and that's never good.

Thank you all.

His stamina is up to 12 now since he was used as a long reliever during part of his rookie year (won the Best Reliever award from that spot!), so I'll give him the occasional spot start to try to really increase it.

Had I known then what I know now - and I wasn't impatient with my new game - I would've started him in the minors as a starter. Oh well.
