I continue to see issues with roster makeup of AI controlled teams. Random debut. 25/26 man rosters. Unlimited reserve rosters. Usually 7 round drafts with enough players created for 9 rounds.
Will see teams with only one catcher on their 25/26 man roster. Sometimes that catcher is the only catcher on the team, period. In one league, the team with only one catcher would use Corbin Carroll at catcher when the teams actual catcher was fatigued(and I mean really fatigued...on his way to injury fatigued). In most cases, there are anywhere from 15-20 catchers on the free agent list. This also happens with other positions, but at least in the case of a team with only 1 SS it's easier for a team to move a guy rated to play 2B to SS etc. It almost seems like it should be hard coded for teams to carry at least 2 catchers, but 3 or 4 would make the most sense.
I don't know if stuff like this happens in fictional games/mlb Quickstart games. Thosse type of league may have more players rated at multiple positions. In the historical game it is happening way too much.
