The manual says that if players don't get some ST ABs they will be rusty when the season starts. I also bring in extra pitchers, at least 1 additional catcher and a bevy of position backups, then set my regular lineups. The AI manager is really good at letting starters play the first half of games then sub pretty much everyone out.
It's definitely true that ST is a great time to improve guys' defense, whether it's learning a new position or improving an existing one. Defense gets better very rapidly in ST.
