Currently, this seems to be the definitive response, other than checking out a couple of peculiar incidents. It's basically the response to the BZ, and I'll have to digest it awhile. I'm not ready to concede it sits as comfortably as it could. :shrug: But this is where it's at presently; perhaps all there is to come:

3) In some cases with the new pitching system, the overall rating is calculated using the current role of the pitcher, where as his potential rating is calculated the projected role in the future. So, when a pitcher is currently a decent reliever, but projects to a below-average starter, the overall rating may be lower than his potential rating.
So, nothing is broken, it works as designed. (unless I find a bug, of course )
