Whatever number you start with must remain the same unless you lose players as mentioned in the rule.
This should say
"Whatever number OF BATTING POSITIONS STARTED WITH",
not
"Whatever number you start with"
.................................................. ...............
EXAMPLE: If you start with 12 batters you cannot increase to 13 batters or decrease to 11 batters.
This should say
"batting positions" not "batters"
to avoid confusion with the shorthanded rule and possibly with DP/FLEX.
