Relievers jump from staters and back to relievers all the time. Look at John Smoltz.
That is actually one of the subjects I wanted to talk about as well.
It would be nice if there were a way to make the transition from MR to SP a bit more....smoother....
Although the "Spot Starter" role is a good role to have for one pitcher. I DO have an MR that I have started for 7 games when I lost two of my starters. He was quite effective. That same person is also a very effective reliever as well. He has 78 IP, and the league average for starters this late in my season is about 110. He has a 3.38 ERA, is has a record of 5 - 0, with 7 GS, dunno how many G played, with 8 SVs, 2 BS, and like 12 SO. Has about 15 GF.
So OOTP DOES model pitching roles pretty well, I guess you just have to ferret out a pitcher like this yourself, and just use him however you want to use him in-game. (That is, if you play out every single one of your games this is very much possible.)
