It's just that I suddenly realised that I have something like 9 pitchers between the age of 19 and 21 in my minors, and that feels like it could be a mistake. For that matter, does anyone play with any sort of rules for how many pitchers vs. hitters they have in their farms?

Seriously though, all those guys won't make the show at the same time based on SI. Plus, you have to figure some just won't pan out for what ever reason. Now if you need to free up some roster space for future picks/claims, that would be where I could begin culling the herd.

But yeah, I guess it's not the biggest worry I have, but thanks for the input
