So you see a lot more churn in AI managed organizations. Also more platooning in the lineups than you'd see IRL. As the other poster pointed out, it's a good idea not to get hung up by a single snapshot view of a AI roster. Focus more on what happens over the course of a season. Given enough time, the AI manages to get things sorted out pretty well, considering.
Yeah, didnt we have a legendary thread where the AI was switching being 2 pitchers every other day between promotion/demotion? (and in one case did so about 6 times in one day )

Note: Course, that promotion/demotion glitch was what led me into forcing a rule on myself a long time ago, where I dont make Major league roster changes except on Monday morning (barring injury/trade). Makes things easier to keep up with for me. Though, it does screw me over now and again if I have blowout and/or extra inning games.
