interesting only 11 at the ML level. do other people use only 11? just based on real ML baseball that would be very low, usually 12-13, but I don't yet know differences between HBD and MLB.

Its all about stamina & durability and skill of course. How soon do they get tired and how long until they are rested. You don't need 12, I've had 11 before even had one season where it was mostly 10.I generally do 11-12 and occasionally 13. I like at least 7 starters. It all depends. I also like to have an extra 1 or 2 position players because I do L R splits a lot. Minor league I will have 13 pitchers per team except rookie15-16 depending who I have.

I always just go with 15 pitchers at all minor levels. You always get injuries, and you want to make sure your staff can hold up. As others have recently said in another thread, getting your minor league teams through the playoffs helps player development immensely, so I don't want pitching staff fatigue to ever be an issue.

2 injuries to position players and you're only playing with 8. Plus you can always have more but put them on inactive list. When I saw I use 13 pitchers that's active pitchers.
