Starter to Reliever

[CKW11]

Did a quick search but didn’t come up with much. Just wondering if you guys have a rule of thumb or a formula when converting a starter to reliever or vice versa.

My rule is:

Starter to reliever = a 40pt reduction in stamina from where it is currently

Starter to closer = a 50pt reduction in stamina from where it is currently but the final value of stamina cannot be higher than 30.

Reliever to starter = a 40pt increase in stamina from where it is currently but the final value cannot be lower than 70. I make all starters each spring training have a minimal stamina attribute rating of 70

What about long relievers? Are they just starters in the bullpen or do you change the stamina for them too?

I don't convert starters to long relievers. They either get moved to middle reliever or closer.

So you just adjust the stamina and not any other attributes to compensate?

Yes (10 char)

Re: Starter to Reliever

I do a gradual addition or subtraction. If I'm going starter to reliever, I drop the stamina by 5 after every relief appearance until they go below 40, then I stop. If I'm going reliever to starter, I add 4 to stamina after every appearance until they go above 60, then I stop. So if I plan on making a reliever into a starter, I'd add stamina each appearance while he's still in the bullpen, then change his position to ''starter' once he goes above 50. when I'm converting a starter to reliever, I dont change his position to ''reliever'' until he goes below 50. I dont touch any other attribute. It just is what it is. But all of that is rare. Most seasons I dont convert anyone

Re: Starter to Reliever

I used to bump a MPH off the pitches when going from reliever to starter and the opposite for starter to reliever but I don't do it anymore. I usually just adjust the stamina to reasonable levels.

Re: Starter to Reliever

Here's what I do.

Starter to Long Reliever

Drop Stamina down 20 points

Starter to Relief Pitcher

Stamina down to 28-32
All pitches get a 2 MPH increase

I move all pitching attributes up 7 points
