The game I'm currently on I started as the 1984 Mariners (a team filled with players who were either decent or young, but only one or two who were both). Two months into the first season, my starting 2b retired due to a wrecked shoulder. Within six weeks after that, my starting SS lost a battle to post-concussion syndrome, and also retired. The two incidents combined to truly stretch my contingency plans, as it were...

Ouch, losing players for the season is one thing but retirement? That has to sting! And yes, I'm definitely more aware of players fragility now.
EDIT: Okay, new question (By the way, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and help me. It's been great!) I have all my lineups set the same way on the lineup screen with incremental rests and what-not, but when I start a game I find my lineup is changed and not in a way that makes sense. For example, it always sits my starting 2B (Bonifacio) and starts my SS prospect in his place (who doesn't even play 2B) and starts my bench utility IF at SS. The other day it wanted to rest my 3B Aramis Ramirez (100% rested) for the same SS prospect who has no 3B experience either. It's just...illogical. It also places my power hitters at leadoff for some games. It's not too big of a deal because I can change it but if there was a way I could turn it off that'd be great.
EDIT 2: Okay I figured it out (I think). I went to the lineups page and selected the RHP and see that my SS prospect is set to play all 3 IF positions at certain increments (2b every 6th game, 3b every 7th game and SS every 3rd game). That actually makes sense to me (except for 3B, Aramis should be an everyday guy). However, I don't understand why it has to screw with my batting order so much; why doesn't it just replace the player in the current order instead of reshuffling the whole thing? i.e., if he replaces the SS and the SS is hitting 2nd, he should be hitting 2nd; the whole batting order doesn't have to change.
