Do you, for example, make sure that your pitchers have two-digit numbers, or maybe give that temporary call-up a number in the 50s?
I even like to give players with certain characteristics numbers similar to their real-life counterparts. I may give that flame-throwing reliever No. 54 (Goose Gossage) or maybe a power-hitting outfielder No. 44 (Hank Aaron).
Once I even used the old Cubs (late 1960s) system: catchers, single digits; infielders, 10-19, outfielders, 20s; pitchers, 30s, 40s.
Anyone else?

1st thing I do when I get my roster down to 25 for OD is go through the #'s and make sure they look mostly right. While I will on occasion let a pitcher have a single digit #, I tend to give him one 40-60. relievers get 60-99, middle IF 0-19 as a general rule.
For my current team the lowest # a pitcher has is 15. My starting C is #5 and my utility player is 7.
