Do you mean the mechanics of the game or philosophy? I change my lineup here and there, but only from my 25 active. On my team if you are not good enough to play you are sold. However when tournaments start next year, I will change that philosophy. My 25 will still be my team but I will keep other teams on my roster reserve to fit those credentials that I want to play.

I keep extra players on the reserve roster, especially utility guys.

It covers me, because sometimes I'll acquire a player who is an upgrade at a position, but the switch opens up a minor hole somewhere.

Like, say the guy being replaced plays left field against left handers, but backs up all 3 OF positions when he's not starting. And the guy I'm getting can only play the corner OF positions, so CF against right handers would have no backup. Those extra guys in reserve allow me to shuffle utility players around so that my 25 man roster will still be able to cover any normal game situation.
