>How are the rosters handled? While I assume that you could queue up a bunch of contingency players, who is to say some of the players that the bot teams pick don't become valuable WS players, which would then thin the talent pool more than we'd like?

The talent pool will still be better bc you don't have bot teams making in season adjustments. Without the bot teams, there'd be an additional 24 guys that are normally on rosters, that would be Fagents.
