How many pitchers on your staff?

I was just curious as to how many pitchers you guys like to keep on your staff. I generally go with an 11 man staff. 5 starters, 5 relievers and 1 closer.

Also how much do you let your reserves play. I set mine to start 10% of the time.

5 Man Rotation.

6 Starters (one who is a spot starter)
5-6 Relievers
1 Closer.

Probably a little more than I should have, but for position players (I play in the NL), I have all 8 Posistion players, 1 backup catcher/FB, 1 Backup Middle Infielders (usually 2b, 3b, ss), and 1 backup Outfielder.
That is basically my lineup, most people have more position players than I do in case of injury... I am heavy on the pitching tho.
