Markus can't win. If there is no backup listed (there should be if you really want that backup to play) and the AI moved players around willy nilly, people would be whining about their meticulously designed lineups being ignored. I know I was one of them.

The issue with catchers is that the AI should treat them as a special case and the backup C should never start elsewhere unless there is an injury. If the AI evaluation has the backup C ranked as a better 1B than other candidates he will start.

A do not start at X position check box would be useful. That way you could block him from starting but not stop the AI from using him when needed in-game.
