That box is for making ratings compare all PLAYERS across positions, not just all pitchers. Frankly, I don't know the reason for wanting to do that, but I'm sure there is one.* Anyway, you may want to uncheck that box to go back to rating pitchers against pitchers. That may not be exactly SP vs SP, MR vs MR, or CL vs CL, but it's closer than what you are working with, I have to believe.

*Actually, I thought of one. You may not have seen this yet if you are managing in the minor leagues, but at the amateur draft you will often see a bunch of MR's at the top of the potential rating chart (if you scouted the draft pool and sorted the draft screen that way). The game rates MR's pretty cheaply, apparently, because you quite often see 5-star potential MR's go undrafted until later rounds. I guess if you turned that option on, you would see the MR's rated as to their value versus ALL players, not just MR's or pitchers in general, and they would be well down on the draft chart in terms of desirability if my theory is correct.
