Your welcome, i find the manual for 11 to be a great help explaining some of the finer details of the game as there is allot to take in with this game.

One other thing to remember with the AI setting lineups is that it will be based off AI evaluation criteria so changing that will change how the AI sets up your lineups.
Also from the manual
Notes on these actions:

Your staff members will fill out the depth chart based on their own personal strategy preferences. Their opinions might not match your own.
Your staff will fill out the lineup based on your depth chart settings. If your depth charts are not complete, your staff members will use their personal strategy preferences to complete the task. Also, when you ask your managers to set up your organization, they might place injured players in the lineup. The reason for this is that the manager gives you the best lineup chosen from among all the players on your roster, regardless of their injury status. Then, when a game is auto-simmed, the game makes the decision about how to substitute for injured players. This prevents you from having to remember to redo your lineups every time a player returns from an injury. With the current model, the game will put the injured player back in the lineup as soon as he becomes available again. Of course, if you don't want to rely on these decisions, you can manually adjust your lineup and depth charts to account for injuries.
If a player goes out of the lineup due to injury, and a game is auto-played, the AI might rearrange your lineup as it sees fit. For example, if your #4 hitter goes down and gets replaced with a weaker backup hitter, the AI might decide to bat the replacement in the #8 spot and move the other players up.

so some things to keep in mind when letting the AI set your lineups. I tend to get them to set it then change it as i see fit that way i can get past Ichiro batting 3rd for example.
