For Rule 5 and amateur drafts, the draft lists show "P" for all pitchers. What is the criteria used for determining who is a starter and who is a reliever when we set our max number to draft in each category? Is there a stamina threshold?

Hard to believe the game has been around for 20 years and this isn't clear.

I think it’s just based on their durability and stamina. Starting pitchers tend to have DUR no higher than the mid 30s, but their stamina is much higher. Vice versa for relievers. Every once in a while you see a weakling wit Dur/sta of like 30/30. I’d expect them to be counted as relievers, but I don’t have any proof of this.
