Can't help with game management, since I'm still GMing from 30000 feet...
Not surprised Braun is coming around, especially at the beginning of a new game it's really easy to be too frustrated to give things time to settle. I'm getting kind of jaded, actually, I'll give a guy too much time to justify his high ratings, especially if it's, say, a middle reliever with ERA consistently in the 4s.
I had a moment like your "bullpen" thing the first two careers I played for reals. I delegated almost everything properly so that I could be just GM and my teams would run themselves under oversight. But I neglected to give my manager control over the lineup... So he spent the entire season trying to play the opening day lineup on short rest and only substituting when players physically couldn't drag themselves onto the field. My #1 starter started over 50 games, but still had under 300 IP because he was always on two or three days' rest.
