Best Way To Keep AI Teams Stocked?

I'm doing a dry run on a league in which all the teams are run by AI. There are no minor leagues and I have been doing no drafts along the way. I figured as time goes along, AI would keep teams stocked with sufficient number of reserves for each team so they could be sufficiently stocked at each position.

I've run about 35 years in the league so far, and as I'm digging back through some details, and I'm finding some teams that had sub-.300 records over the years were completely screwed on the roster. In one 18-player-roster season, one team had 12 pitchers and six position players, so their record was actually sub-.200.

When I set this league live, what is the best way to ensure that there will be sufficient players at each position on each team so that these kinds of imbalances don't happen? I mean, without me going in and micromanaging each of these teams? Should there be some sort of draft every season?
