I usually use a combo of the above methods. I will never keep a player older than 20 at rookie, 24 at A, 27 at AA.

Rather than starting AAA to make promotions, I start at the rookie. It is easier to identify road blocks that way. For instance if I promote 5 guys from A and I only see 2 worthy of promotion from AA, then I will find 3 guys to cut from AA.

I usually don't mess with lineups but I don't have the AI auto them either. I will go through weekly and have the manager set them and I will adjust only if something is off.

I also never have the AI handle promotions as they make some silly moves sometimes.
