Let me add another voice in asking for a PH depth list. I really don't like the philosophy that the computer should choose "the best hitter". I think letting us humans set how we want the AI to manage our team is better than assuming that the AI should make the choice on their own.

How am I to know that the AI looks at the same things when it evaluates who is the best pinch hitter? How about if the player who technically is the best hitter is also my best defensive sub and I don't want him to be used as a pinch hitter as often as others on my bench because I prefer to save him to be a defensive sub? How about I'm resting a starter and don't want him to come in as a pinch hitter unless he has to? How about I don't care about a lefty/righty split as much as the AI does? Or the various other options that might make me value a different bench player more than the AI others have posted.

I'm serious when I say the lack of a PH depth chart is one of the major factors in my decision on whether or not I buy 12.
