Also, just re-asking a couple of unanswered questions:
1. Is it Pitcher Endurance, or is it the Use Relievers and Use Closers settings that affect how many pitchers are carried on the roster? Or all of the above?
2. Re this, written by Garlon:
Is this an issue across eras, or is it something that is more pronounced during certain periods?
Thanks in advance.

This is one of the many things about the database that really bugs the hell out of me. There are a couple of fields stored against each league which appear to be average number of pitchers and hitters (standard values of 12 and 13), but they can't be altered, and even if you do edit them, the game doesn't take much notice of it.
