AI Teams not carrying enough relievers

Version 91. AI Teams are not carrying relievers equal to the amount reflected in the league settings. Multiple teams only carrying 6 receivers. Screenshot below is a team carrying 3. Uploaded game file to ftp site (Low Relievers.zip).

That isn't meant to be a hard set limit. The AI teams have some leeway one way or the other on how many relievers to keep.

I do agree I would prefer they adhere to the number a little tighter, but I just tend to expand the roster by 1 (so to 26 in your case) and add a reliever.

Obviously, only 3 relievers is an issue though.

I'm fine if the AI is using leeway, but I don't recall seeing this before. Granted I don't check every team every day for roster make up, but feel like I would have seen effects in other statistics (games pitched for example). Very certain I haven't seen a team go over the limit before - probably a lot of versions away before the AI would optimize its roster based on depth by positions (i.e. carrying 8 relievers because they are deep in arms), but I can hope.
