This is interesting. I go with a 4-man strict rotation from 1920-1935 and 3 relievers and a roster of 21 players. I am noticing that even though I set limits to 3 relievers, if I allow there to be say 16 position players and 7 relievers in the strategy settings that the computer will sometimes ignore this and put 4 or 5 relievers on the roster. I think the computer will not attempt to use fewer than 14 position players though. So you might want to try a roster of 21 players with 14 position players, 6 SP with start highest rested as the mode and 1 RP in the settings and allow starters in relief and see if you get better results like that.

You may want to try adjusting the Pitcher Stamina as well.
