Check out the AI teams in your league too. I think you might find that it is a fatigue issue. What happens is the AI sees that the player is tired and sticks him on the bench to start the game. But then because he's a good player, the AI calls on him to pinch hit later in the game, and then he's tired for the next game, lather, rinse, repeat. I've seen it happen to very good players (i.e. guys who should be starting) 5 or 6 games in a row. If it isn't a fatigue issue, then there are two separate issues that need addressing.
