Typically, whoever bats 7th takes over the leadoff role when the leadoff man is rested.....
That is in a non-DH league.....I have never played a DH-League, so I have no idea what happens in that.
In a non-DH league, the 7 hole is traditionally a spot where you want speed. If he gets on base with 2 outs, he can try to steal. If he is caught, then you have the 8th hitter leading off the next inning, instead of the pitcher, so it is thought of as a free from cost steal attempt.
In OOTP, you should put a fella in the 7-hole who will be your backup leadoff man. If you put a catcher there, he will lead off sometimes.....
