What I want is for the game to produce a similar and realistic feel to what someone would expect to happen in the game, today. Because that would then mimic a realistic opportunity to watch a win or loss as the game would be played today. This is essentially what OOTP sells itself as.
And taking the time up to read through dozens of threads / posts / and watch people critique one way of doing something vs. another (when, even changing these settings does NOTHING), only to watch the game perform 'wonky' (all the time, and not my word) is extremely frustrating.

So you want the game to make absolutely perfect decisions all of the time, because that's exactly what it sounds like? I've already told you several reasons why he could be choosing between three players all within literally 3 points of overall rating between them. Russell also has no stats from the prior season which is also going to throw in on the evaluation.
I mean, seriously, they are all rating between 45-48. If you're so pissed at how your manager is utilizing the players, then modify the lineups if you're able, and if you aren't, FIRE THE MANAGER.
One thing you need to realize is that OOTP does not recognize names. It is all numbers to the engine. Based on your terms of evaluation and what I assume you consider a quality manger -- that's the decision he made in THE OOTP WORLD.
The great thing about OOTP is that if you don't like how something is working out, you can almost always make a change.
Going off on a rant when the players are literally rated within 3 points of each other is, frankly, pretty ridiculous. This is nowhere near the horrific idiocy you are making it out to be, I've already come up with a bunch of reasons why the AI manager made that choice, you just don't want to accept it.
In that case, change it or fire the manager and move on with life. The game isn't absolute perfection, and neither is real baseball.
