Cleveland Dad,

Some good points! In the VBL, we carry 28 players. Our team carried 27, 12 position players and 15 pitchers. By season's end, we could have truly used more pitchers.

Position players never like to sit unless they are exhausted, in which case they will sit out one game and pronounce themselves healed, then want to start every game until again exhausted. Pitchers seem to eventually get their innings, based upon their abilities and needs.

I'd die if I had to process 50 players in a season. Some teams do a lot of cutting and adding. Our theory is we sign guys to play all summer, not to be cut, so we only added 3 players all season, all injury replacements.
