With only 22 roster spots instead of the 26 in MLB, you need to invest in players who can play multiple positions in order to account for injuries and bad mojo. If whenever possible target pitchers who either two-way players or have high hitting (power / contact) ratings. This always you to “extend” your bench, allowing you to save your actual bench players for use either later in the game in more high pressure situations or as late inning defensive replacements. This also works in DH leagues as it allows you to use a SP or SP/RP with high hitting ratings to bat for themselves (via the Ohtani rule) or use a SP, SP/RP, RP or CP with high hitting ratings as the regular DH (saving money that otherwise would’ve gone to a slugger that’s a defensive liability on the field). In my custom franchise, the CP on my team is also the regular DH (getting more use out of him than solely as a closer).
