Sounds pretty foolproof to me.

Well look at it another way. IRL would you look kindly on a manager who decided not to use a big bat, because he had no defensive players left, in the bottom of the 9th, or 12th or 15th inning with runners in scoring position and a chance to win the game? What if he had no pitchers left?
It very much depends on the situation. For a game early in the year maybe, but with the pennant on the line?
That's why its tough to program. If you made a hard rule in the programming, there would be posts on the forum about the AI never PHitting with a chance to win. That's just as unrealistic.
