I think this would work:
1. Create two human managers. Let's say you want to Montreal and Boston to have 5-man rotations. So you could name those two human managers Gene Mauch and Eddie Kasko (or whatever you want).
2. As you are creating each manager, select the team you want each one to control.
3. Under Team Control Settings on each manager's Manager Options panel, set all items to Computer AI *except* for "Setting Pitching Staff" - leave that one in control of the manager you just created.
4. Select Gene Mauch as the active manager and then go to Montreal's pitching panel.
5. Change Montreal's Rotation Size to 5-man and the either make additional pitching staff changes (decide who is in the rotation and what order, etc.), or "Ask Bench Coach for Staff." (Repeat this for Kasko & Boston.)
At this point, OOTP AI will handle everything for Montreal & Boston - just like it does for all other teams (that you don't control) EXCEPT for these two teams' pitching staffs.
You may need to take a quick look at these two teams' pitching staffs from time to time to make sure that, for example, if 4 of Montreal's 5 starting pitchers are injured and - since "Gene Mauch" is making the Expos pitching staff decisions - the Expos aren't stuck with one guy manning their 5-man rotation, and so forth. Or if Marty Pattin is having a terrible year as Boston's #4 starter, you might want to demote him to the 'pen, bump Roger Moret up from the #5 spot to the #4 spot, and either put someone else in 5-spot of the rotation or switch to a 4-man. Stuff like that...
