It dawned on me that I may be using the depth chart incorrectly. Normally one would think that it if a hitter is starting, it makes no sense to assign him a pinch hit role, right? Pinch hitter order are for the guys on the bench.

What if a have a platoon at 1B. Player A starts against RHP and Player B starts against LHP. During a game that Player A started, the opponent inserted a LHP out of the bullpen. Now the vs LHP depth chart is being used, right? I want Player B to bat against LHP, but he is not listed among my pinch hitters.

Perhaps there's logic behind the manager selecting a pinch hitter, but it almost seems like it's most beneficial to leave pinch hitters blank so the manager can just select the best one on the bench for the situation.
