Sometimes relief pitchers actually have better fastballs than starters, but they just don't have a "scond pitch" like a starter needs.
But overall I agree. Starters are better pitchers than relievers.
Maybe we should look at guys who have lively fastballs but failed as starters. See if we can convert them to relievers.
