Obviously I can just go ahead and manually change it in this case, however it tells me that other teams (and I do see this often) will have some unrealistic lineups.
Not sure why this happens or what others do about it? Hopefully it can be worked out/fixed by the developers. I would assume teams will "compete" better and win/lose more realistically when they have proper line ups (e.g. one of their best hitters in the 4 hole, like has been throughout MLB history).

There's a longstanding thing where some managers prefer to use the 5 hole as a secondary leadoff slot rather than as a backup cleanup hitter. The thinking is that the 5 hole hits leadoff or 2nd in the 2nd inning most of the time. This isn't universal and i think I'd prefer to put Young in a different part of the order but there is some logic behind this.
