I was working on my hopelessly inept minor league career today and after several seasons of failed tinkering with pitching strategies, I said screw it, and assigned SPs to starting positions no matter how low their endurance or pitching ratings and MRs to their respective positions.

Hitherto, I would ignore the labeled pitching roles and set my staff according to their objective stats, so if a MR had an endurance of 70 and STU/MOV/CON of 40/30/40 (remember, I play single A), I would make him my ace of my starting rotation.

After several seasons of middling to poor results and frequent injuries, I just put my SPs into order on the rotation, put my closer as the closer, and relievers as relievers. I watched my team ERA cut in half.

Now, under game settings, I have the box checked that makes stats non-relative (that is, pitch ratings are relative to pitchers in general not just SPs or MRs), so why did this happen? Was it a fluke in the stats or is there something programmed in that makes this happen?
