Lineup Advice for Expansion owners

It was just pointed out to me that a critical piece of advice has been omitted from the 'making lineups' post. The AI will run your catcher out for 162 games a year. Or at least it will try to do so, but your catchers knees will explode first. To rest your catcher you should assign your backup catcher as personal catcher for 1 or 2 starters in your rotation, or ensure they are platooned vs LHP/RHP.

If you only have him catch one starter, make sure it's not your 5th starter, because the AI will skip the 5th starter when it can and then your primary catcher won't get enough rest. I prefer to have my backup catch 2 guys, but my backup is decentish so the tradeoff is 'only' .080 points of OBP. That's a tradeoff you'll have to make yourself, but with an old creaky catcher or one who wasn't noted for durability catching your 4th and 5th starters with your backup probably isn't a terrible plan.

Also, you've done nothing about the trio of injuries to Boddicker, McGregor and Sanderson. I would suggest replacing them for the duration of their injuries.

half my rotation died cool

Okay, let's see here. DL Boddicker, replace his rotation spot with Ken Holtzman.

DL McGregor, replace his spot in the rotation with Joe Niekro.

Switch Neikro and Steve Rogers' spots in the rotation.

I guess DL Sanderson, but I dunno if you even have to in Mogul since he's in AAA.
