Have a random league that I started in 1970. I'm currently playing out August of 1988. Was watching a Yankees game and discovered the Yankees only have 11 position players on their 25 man roster. I have it set for teams to carry 15. They also have 8 pitchers in their bullpen. I have it set for teams to carry 5. Looking at the Yankees reserve roster, they have 43 players, all of them pitchers. 3 starter and 40 relief pitchers. 0 position players. Their are 128 free agents available with 98 of them being position players. The Yankees are actually in first place. There are 2 other teams that are experiencing the same type of thing, but not as extreme as the Yankees. These teams only have 1 catcher on the 25 man roster and none on the reserve roster. They are both carrying 6 relief pitchers. There are 19 free agent catchers available.

Looking at the last 6 Yankee draft(6 round amateur drafts) the Yankees have selected 35 pitchers and one position player.

I've been playing this way forever and have never seen anything like this.
