I have discovered a fairly major issue with historical roster management by the AI: On some AI managed teams the active MLB rosters are not being filled out completely to 25 players - instead keeping some players (and some good ones) in the minor leagues, especially pitchers. I started an historical league in 1954. I found this issue in mid-May 1954 after seeing that the White Sox beat the Athletics 36-4. The box score shows that the losing pitcher on the Athletics J. Gray pitched 6.2 innings, giving up 22 hits and 19 ER while throwing an amazing 264 pitches. He was relieved by A. Kellner, who pitched the rest of the game (obviously mopping up!). Here is the problem: The Athletics only have 5 pitchers on their active MLB roster and only 19 total players on their total active roster (out of 25). BUT, down in the minor leagues they have 11 pitchers! So, something is obviously wrong with the AI logic. (All other teams have 25 men on their active rosters except for the Orioles who have 21). This is obviously something that needs to be addressed. I am using version 16.2.9. Thanks!
