Although I agree with everything that's been said about the AI not using situational lefties properly, I also think the AI in OOTP6 uses relief pitchers better than it did in OOTP5.

I have a right-handed RF who bats third, a lefty DH hitting cleanup, and a right-handed 1B who hits fifth. My RF, though right-handed, is much better against right-handed pitching. I frequently see the AI bring in a lefty to pitch to my RF and my DH, and then remove him for a right-handed reliever to pitch to my 1B.

I never saw this in version 5. So though it's still not perfect, I'm seeing a little bit more "logic" in the AI's bullpen handling in 6.03.
