Thanks for the support Scott....In responding to other posts on similar subjects, it dawned on me that it would not do any good to reduce the roster size to, lets say 20, if the AI is going to still have a roster skewed towards one or two positions. For example, out of the 20 man roster there are 9 middle relievers and 6 first basemen. I wonder if it would be possible to set the parameters on how many players at any one position can be in your minor league club. If I had a chance to set these numbers on a 25 man minor league roster, I probably would go:
Starters -5
Middle Relievers-3
Closer-1
Catcher -2
Firstbase -2
Secondbase -2
Shortstop -2
Thirdbase -2
Leftfield -2
Rightfield -2
Centerfield -2
I think this is a good mix but you can adjust it accordingly. Of course if you were to lower the minor league size then that would even increase the challenge of which positions you develope.
As an added thought. You could have the reduced roster size take effect after you run spring training. Then you can review your squad and make the necessary cuts. Prior to spring training, you would have a 40 man roster. So there is an added challenge and fun in deciding who stays and who goes!
