How many starting pitchers long relievers mid-relievers setup pitchers and closers must a team have in a roster of let's say 13-15 men?

There's not a specific limit to each of these; in fact, there's not even an official designation on starters, relievers, and closers. A player can start a game one day and pitch in relief the next. (A famous example of this is Randy Johnson, who won two games as the starter and a third in relief in the 2001 World Series.)
Usually, teams have a rotation of five starting pitchers, with one being their "ace" (their best pitcher, first in the rotation). Again, usually, teams designate one of their relievers as a "set-up man" to pitch the eighth inning and a "closer" to pitch the ninth inning.
It should also be noted that a team doesn't even have a mandatory pitcher limit; they could technically have no pitchers on their rosters and have position players pitch. (Obviously that's a terrible strategy.)

What does 'Hold' mean in trems of baseball stats?
The hold is not an official statistic, but it was created as a way to credit middle relief pitchers for a job well done. Starting pitchers get wins, and closers -- the relief pitchers who come in at the end of the game -- get saves, but the guys who pitch in between the two rarely get either statistic. So what's the most important thing one of these middle relievers can do? "Hold" a lead. If a reliever comes into a game to protect a lead, gets at least one out and leaves without giving up that lead, he gets a hold. But you can't get a save and a hold at the same time.REFER TO LINK POSTED @ BOTTOM OF PAGE
