I live 3 blocks from a LOW A team and I can tell you they only have 22 players at the game. Whether they have non-players on their roster, I dunno...
The roster limit for both Low-A leagues is 25-men. I don't know where you live so I can't look up the roster of the team, but yes, minor league teams do play under the limit, although it's usually on a short term basis from what I've seen.

If you'd like to see the AI handle minor league teams better, perhaps playing with less than 25 if it makes sense (due to call ups, injuries, etc), then I agree. I think most people are looking for improvements to the AI's minor league handling.

I was referring to you minor league setup with only one minor league team for a major league squad....
Although I didn't actually specify any minor league setup, *** only has one minor league squad. Japanese teams can have 70something players signed to their organization, but only 28-men (25 active per game) on their ichi-gun roster. That means upwards of 50-men on the ni-gun "roster," or inactive. As of last year, all teams had at least in the 60s, I believe. (I have Westbay's Salary data from last year, I just don't remember where.)

Again, I'm all for the premise of having roster limits on even the lowest of minors, and like the idea of an extended spring training/inactive roster, but would prefer the ability to set it manually. Maybe an option, if not.
