Or I may want my lousy hitting septuagenarian as my primary pinch hitter because he's sitting on 2999 hits. I have no way of knowing which guy OOTP will pick, and this level of control really should be given over to the end user.
Or perhaps I have a bench player whose only viable role on the team is to pinch hit so I want him used more often as a pinch hitter even if there are others who the AI may consider a better hitter. What if I have a bench player who has lower ratings than others but he's on a hot streak or he just seems to pinch hit better than others who are rated higher? Or just somebody I want to get more at bats for one reason or another over others on the bench?
