For online play, is there anything done to prevent people from using starting pitchers as relievers?
-No, but everyone is forced to use downloadable rosters. So if Pedro gets hurt in real life...he's not there to use.

I'm not so sure I like this one.
In all my past leagues, our 'virtual world' is like an alternate dimension. In last year's Inside Pitch, for instance, we started the season with the rosters supplied by the shrinkwrapped copy, then allowed trades that each of us, as individual GMs, wanted. We did not match any real-world trades.
Now did we match real-world injuries... we've always based injuries in our football and basketball leagues off of what happened in our games (Sega always used to provide the injury in number of games or days, depending on the sport). I'll never forget the time I, as the Celtics, happened to injure the top Knicks star in the last (meaningless) game of the regular season, leading New York to get swept in the first round.
Since this is still a Q&A thread, I'll just sum up by asking, "Are there any plans for next year to follow MS' custom roster online option?"
