I don't find it realistic at all to have starters coming in as subs during Spring Training, so I use the bench player for X days feature to sit most of my starters for road games in Spring Training. This keeps them from playing entirely and allows the backups to get more at bats than they normally would, and it's also realistic since starters often don't travel for road games until late in Spring Training. Then I use the 7-day lineups to determine which backups/platoon guys get the start.
It's somewhat tedious to do that every single day, but I'm so used to it that it's gotten pretty easy to spread out the at bats and innings during Spring Training. Plus, I trust my own decisions with these moves more than I would trust the AI if we had more depth chart options.
