I kind of get the frustration but don't see anything wrong with it.
It is tricky as it is still kind of a new mode...this strategy is entirely limited to things that the controls or options in the game allow you to do.
You tell me the spirit it's violating.
The strategy alone doesn't bug me...teams being able to afford 4 rosters better than mine and use those players with the strategies, actively (hands-on), might.

The only reason it works is because people can't always be online to change up their depth charts when a series against a team like this comes up. I'm not saying it's illegal or cheating, but it exploits a flaw in the game which hopefully can be corrected. Starters with a pitch count under 30 could be treated as an "opener" for example so that your opener/follower settings would apply.
