27 man roster
Hello,
I’d like to up my roster size from 26 to 27; does anybody know if this will have any detrimental effect on the AI teams - i.e. can they cope with it, or is 25/26 the ideal size for the AI? Edit: news of any further considerations/complications gratefully received. Thanks! Last edited by Pedro; 11-27-2019 at 03:31 PM. |

I can't say from experience, but my guess is that there wouldn't be any issues. It's usually when you restrict rosters that the AI starts to have trouble. I would just watch how the AI uses that extra roster spot to make sure it's making the best use of it. In other words, an extra pitcher, infielder or outfielder would make the most sense. Something like an extra 1B-only guy wouldn't make sense if the starter is also a 1B-only guy.

keep in mind the AI uses 40 players in September.

Yeah, usually adding an extra spot should be fine. The things I'd look out for:
-Set the batter/pitcher mix in the league settings to what you think is reasonable. FYI, I often like to make sure they add up to like 1 less than the roster limit, which gives the AI a little more freedom to either carry an extra reliever or hitter as desired -They generally speaking will try to balance IF/OF. So with 27 on the roster, if you have them use 13 pitchers, then they'd have 14 batters. That should work out to: Starting 8 DH/PH option Backup C 2X IF Backup 2X OF Backup IIRC, once they hit around 28 on the roster is when they start thinking about carrying a 3rd catcher. With that amount of subs, it should increase the chance that they don't "miss" having a backup for a position (since odds are one of the 2 OF backups could handle CF, for example). The only "problems" I would guess with a roster that size is that it might be easier to have some guys simply not able to make it into the lineup.So you might end up with some guys on the roster just ride the pine all season. Maybe not an issue, but something to look out for. |

Thanks all, and especially Matt for the detailed breakdown. I didn't know about the batter/pitcher mix setting so that's very helpful.
It's really only a quality-of-life option so I'm not shuttling between the big league and the minors so often, so a bit to ponder yet before doing it. Many thanks! |

Does help out if you have Waviers turned on.

You should be able to adjust it to where recommended settings is carry 13 P 14 bats, but sometimes they’ll carry 12 pitches and you’re like wtf. So make sure you do that

Another roster size issue I had was in an All Star game.
I selected a roster limit of 35 players for the All Star game mainly to include lots of players and substitutions. One of my league rosters included 6 first basemen but only one shortstop. Matt Williams was the 3rd basemen and could play shortstop if needed but had not played a single inning at that position up to that point in the season. Is it possible to make sure there are at least 2 players selected at each position? or Can additional player(s) be added manually to the All Star roster (Commissioner's picks)? |
