As I explore the early 20th century in OOTP, I've discovered that oftentimes teams will name their best or one of their best pitchers as a closer despite the league settings for that year listing "use of closers" as "very rarely" in addition to "use of relievers" being "very rarely." A team wouldn't realistically put a high-quality pitcher in a "very rarely" used position, but the AI seems to be doing that quite often in these years.

Perhaps a fix for this would be to remove the position of closer from all rosters for any years that have a "use of closers" setting of "very rarely" or "rarely," particularly if "use of relievers" is also "very rarely" or "rarely."
