Yes, the manager will be in charge of pitching and lineups. Some lesser-ranked managers will let you set individual player strategies, so you can at least force-start players. If your manager is legendary, though, he will have full control! You better hire someone you trust.

But you can feel safe right now that if your manager has an unhealthy obsession with a bad player, you can trade or send down the guy and the manager won't be upset at you. We haven't gotten that far in modeling things, but I will say that's a perfectly valid strategy to force his hand
