Does that make sense to anyone?

Yes, that is exactly how it works.
When scouting a player and storing the report, the scout has to choose a set of players which to compare the player against. With pitchers this is sometimes tricky, as for example this guy has 4 pitches and the stamina to be a starter.
The rating you see on the profile is always relative to other players of the same current role/position of the player, and changes if you change the role/position.
