3. "Ask Bench Coach for Lineup vs RHP" (which really means "Ask for the batting order based on this depth chart")... this sets the batting order based upon who I want to start
4. "Generate Depth Chart versus RHP based on this lineup" - this reworks the depth chart after my changes in 2 & 3
5. In the Depth Chart, make any changes to whom I want the backups to be at each position, how often/when they should start, etc... this is also where/when I would setup any platoons vs the same-handed pitcher; for example, if two guys basically split time at 2B against righties...)
6. Repeat for ... vs LHP
I don't think the above is in conflict with anything else posted here. I think this is basically the longer answer to:

That's almost exactly what I do, only difference being I don't bother to repeat it for LHP. I'll generally just let the bench coach do whatever they want there unless I really disagree with something.
