I've never thought of the depth chart as the guideline for in-game substitutions, except of course for the spots that it has designated as defensive subs. But I always use it to set-up my substitution patterns and anticipate that the in-game application is going to result in certain guys getting more PT over others.
Similar to that, I have found that I can usually anticipate how the AI is going to use my bullpen since I've been playing it enough. My middle reliever #1 is almost always my team's best non-closer reliever, although if I've had a guy that has done a good job as closer but isn't the most talented, I keep him in that spot and enjoy seeing my best reliever pitching in more games. My setup men, usually a right or lefty, are good but not great because OOTP seems to use these guys less, especially #2. Since the #2 is usually a lefty, I make him a MR as well so the AI will feel free to use him wherever.
