Here's a handy guide I use for rosters over the years. You don't have to 100% stick with these but they are a good reference point if you want accuracy v the historical.
1871-1880 2 SP, 0 RP, 12 position players, 1 open
1881-1884 3 SP, 0 RP, 11 position players, 1 open
1885-1887 3 SP, 0 RP, 12 position players, 1 open
1888-1889 4 SP, 0 RP, 12 position players
1890-1893 4 SP, 0 RP, 12 position players, 1 open
1894-1900 5 SP, 0 RP, 12 position players, 1 open
1901-1904 5 SP, 0 RP, 13 position players, 1 open
1905-1914 6 SP, 0 RP, 13 position players, 1 open
1915-1919 6 SP, 1 RP, 13 position players, 1 open
1920-1923 6 SP, 1 RP, 14 position players, 1 open
1924-1928 6 SP, 1 RP, 15 position players, 1 open
1929-1933 6 SP, 1 RP, 14 position players
1934-1938 6 SP, 1 RP, 14 position players, 1 open
1939-1941 6 SP, 2 RP, 14 position players, 1 open
1942-1945 6 SP, 2 RP, 14 position players
1946-1951 6 SP, 2 RP, 14 position players, 1 open
1952-xxxx 5 SP, 3 RP, 14 position players, 1 open
14 position players for all seasons with position player fatigue set to High as this tends to minimize teams not assigning a substitute at certain positions, but that will still happen. If you look at your season records after playing many seasons and check batter strikeouts you will find good players who strike out 300 times in a season because they played 162 games without a substitute. With 14 position players that gives you 6 substitutes, so you can figure a catcher, 1B, two infielders to covers 2B/3B/SS, and two outfielders with at least one who can play CF so that you will always have a substitute when players are fatigued.
For rotation and relievers
