Not having everybody perform exactly as he did in OOTP 9 is a strawman argument.

The problem is pitchers being used realistically. Having 20-25% of the starting pitchers in the league being entrenched relievers is a highly unrealistic situation.

The problem here is OOTP 9 inflated endurances of relievers. The solution would then be to have the import process adjust their endurance. Instead, all I have seen from the powers that be is a defense of the system. The only acknowledgment that I've seen that a problem exists is Millwood's OVR could be wrong, which is completely a side issue.

Furthermore, Markus even states that these relievers aren't going to be that effective as starters. Most of them are effective relievers. So, they are bring taken out of situations where they succeed and being used where many will fail. Then, their failures as starters puts increased burdens on the whiz, are also burdened by no longer having them as being effective relievers.
