Roster Size

Post by Slvanlae »

The Game guide states..."Your roster must have at least 40 players but no more than 50 at all times. You must also have 25 players on your major league roster. You must have at least nine pitchers (five starters) but no more than 12. There are generally no other restrictions, but most leagues do have some sort of catcher requirement."

I am in a league where a team is carrying 52. Does the program not have any way to regulate/enforce excess roster size? Is enforcement dependent on a commissioner?

Does the owner have players on rest? I don't think those guys count against the 50 max. Link to depth chart?

It's not that uncommon to see the roster of an inactive owner have over 25 minor leaguers.

That owner will not be able to make any roster adjustments (change a rotation or lineup) until the roster size is 50 or below. But if the team is inactive and unmanned at the helm, they won't be doing that, anyway.

But Bahston is also correct, disabled players and players on rest do not count against the 50-player cap.

Well, it will hurt the development of the guys in that minor league system, so the owner (or lack of owner) isn't gaining any real advantage.
