I´m not checking regularly, so I don´t know if this has been suggested before:

In the depth chart there should be slots for Pinch Hitters.
So you can assign a primary Pinch Hitter vs. LHPs and RHPs. The primary Pinch Hitter should be used in close/late situations, so he doesn´t get used if a pitcher is roughed up in the early innings. Too often I check the game logs, just too see that my best bench player has not been used to hit in a situation, where a hit would have made the difference.
Most of the times the best hitter available is a guy who platoons at a position. It would be nice to know the AI will use him in situation where he could do some damage.

And:
I´d like to see the left handed specialist. I think there are many pitchers who are nasty against LHBs but can do almost nothing against RHBs.
In my first ootp-season I used a pitcher like that in a set up role, hoping the AI would use him against LHBs in the late Innings. But he also got inserted in situations where he would just face RHBs and get roughed up and blow a lot of safes.

Just my 2 cents
