Right...that was the assumption.

Altho someone could argue that they intentionally drafted "combo" guys, thinking that if they had them in there as relievers and they wound up starting a game then that game wouldn't count against their 162 game total, someone else could argue that they intentionally did not draft these guys because they were afraid that if they had them in as relievers and they started a game here and there then that start would count, and they didn't want to waste one of their 162 starts on the guy.

Since it wasn't spelled out 100% clearly in the rules, we figured that since "games started" was a stat category, and since you got one point for each game started, and when you reached 162 in that category you stop getting points for starts, that a start made by anyone -starter or reliever - should count against the 162.
