What's up with that?). Is this simply an AI problem? Is there anything I can do to make sure this doesn't happen? Or do I have to make changes to every team's roster to get things right? Thanks.

It switches player roles and places players on active/reserve even with Lahman so I would guess it's the AI doing it. Also, late 50's did carry fewer pitchers for the most part. They tended to use 4 man rotations and the "closer" role was pretty much nonexistant. Back then they used their best relievers as needed, not assigning them specific roles.
