Does anyone know if this is detrimental to keep 35 man rosters and to keep dropping/picking new players up and six man rotations or is it okay?
Appreciate the help!

Other than you may be dumping guys early based on a small sample size I don’t think it really hurts anything. You say these players have low potential anyway so the odds you are cutting the next superstar because of a small sample size still probably works in your favor. 6 man rotations are great for 35 man rosters. I also use the pitch count option, I think I have mine set at 70 pitches for all starters at my lowest level. I don’t have any real evidence but I think it helps reduce injuries and it makes the ai use more of your arms. I also “force start as starting pitcher” all pitchers that I think can be starters. It’s a bit tedious to set at first but it really makes the ai slot the best guys in the rotation. Something they will not do if force start is not employed. I learned a lot of these tricks from other players in an online league I’m in. They seem to have helped with me developing pitchers. Hope this helps.
