AFAIK, although you can list the two separately on roster screens, a pitcher's position is the same as his role and is changed as shown below. Neither are affected by where you place a pitcher on the pitching staff chart.
Also, I doubt that a pitcher's performance is affected by his role or where he is on the chart; it all comes down to his ratings and endurance and, of course, the randomization of the game engine in producing results. You are basing your conjecture on one pitcher and it is probably a coincidence.
Back to what is puzzling me. Does anybody know of a situation where a pitcher's position <> his role? If so, when and why? If not, why do we have both?
