Respect Pitching Roles - The higher this is, the more likely it would be that the AI would pitch your closer as your closer, instead of putting in your middle relief pitcher to get the save. Similarly, setup men would be used as setup men.
Combined with settings for "pitch count," "favor lefty/righty matchups," and "hook", that would make it pretty flexible.
Some other possibilities:
"never pitch this player for more than X innings" - for cases like you see in MLB all the time - the setup guy who NEVER pitches more than one inning
"favor between innings changes" - stop the AI from changing relief pitches after 1 out, unless absolutely necessary
Just some more thoughts!

Good ideas.
The game cannot currently handle this.
It works fairly well for Modern Day Larussa Baseball with multiple pitching changes per inning, but not for historical leagues, where a starter was expected to finish a game and teams only had 5-8 pitchers on the staff.
That is why I play out the last 3 innings of every game, so I can make the changes, not the AI. It is a much more realistic game this way.
