The question is not does an inferior player play but how often.
I sim my games and still find my backups getting about the right amount of bats due to the manager subbing in the back ups to rest the starters or when there is a day to day. Sometimes if I click let AI to setup the depth chart. I only sometimes find the AI disagrees with the starters on the ML level. Usually if it does it is because it is trying to take advantage of splits. Backups can have a strong disagreement but is usually because I want the lighter hitting better SS or CF to be the backup there over a better hitting poor fielder.
Are the settings traditional or sabr for lineups? If it is SABR the overall numbers may not matter much. The AI will try to take advantage of splits. With SABR selected I find a lot more platooning with a bad fielder who hits right or lefties better. I find a lot less of this with traditional settings.
Also note that ratings are only part of AI evaluation. The lineup code is pretty black box but if it is paying attention to fielding stats a guy not used much might have great fielding stats just because he hasn't had the opportunity to make errors.

Using Traditional.
My frustration is the opposing teams' lineups when their AI manager sits their best player for someone not nearly as good...
