My fictional solo league is a continuation of a game started in OOTP2007, and was created with the default settings for modern-day leagues. Under these settings the AI routinely carries 6 relievers; I don't think I've ever seen an AI-run team have 7. With only 6 pitchers in the bullpen, I often see the entire bullpen tired, so I would like to make the AI carry an additional reliever on its rosters at the expense of a backup positional player, which it can afford to do because the DH is active in both leagues and less need for bench players.

Does anyone know how to make the AI do this? Maybe change one of the settings under "Strategy" in the League Setup? Here are some current key settings:

Use of Relievers: Very Often
Use of Closers: Very Often
Pitcher Stamina: Low
Typical Starting Rotation Size: 5 Man Rotation

I would think the key one here is Use of Relievers, but it's already at the highest setting. The only thing I can think of changing that might make a difference is setting Pitcher Stamina to Very Low. Would this have any effect on AI roster management? What side effects would it have? I figure the average pitches thrown by the average starter would decrease, but hope someone has tried this setting and could give me a heads up.

I'm still on v11, but this forum gets more traffic, so I thought I'd throw it out in here; I wouldn't think this part of the game has changed. Apologies if I'm cluttering.
