I just fear that opener usage might be able to be exploited and hope it won't.

What happens if it's a double bluff and they name a lefty reliever to start as an obvious opener, hoping to get a lefty heavy lineup in anticipation of the switch, but then they bring in another multi inning lefty as follower?
I guess the AI will have to look at who's potentially available as a follower, rather than just assume it will be an opposite hander.
Shapes up for some interesting strategy IRL. Especially when it comes to playoffs when a number of potential followers will be available.
