How do I do this? I want back ups to get some abats.

put your regulars on rest and your backups in the lineup

Change your manager settings to:

Use defensive replacements if winning by 1 or more runs in the 7th inning or later.
Use Player Rest if winning by 1 or more runs in the 5th inning or later.
Use Player Rest if losing by 1 or more runs in the 5th inning or later.

Also, put a lot of extra position players and pitchers on your spring training roster.  Anybody who is remotely a prospect.  You should be able to easily get 20 or more players into each game.

Also change your starters to tandems and save the recs on the player settings.

Put all pitchers other than the starters as Setup A and make sure to set accept the recommended settings. That will keep pitches to 20 or less.

I change my manager settings like said above. I take my ML'ers off the the Def rep and player rest list and replace them with prospects. Also, I manually change all my pitchers to throw 5-20 pitches depending on their stamina, to go along with tandems set at 40 pitches. I've had over 40 players play several times. It's crucial to have your prospects develop and spring training playing time is a good way to start their season. I don't worry much about my veterans playing in ST.

oh, and set all the pitcher pull #'s to 5

Do this.

I seriously don't know where I would be without these forums.  These suggestions are awesome, I am bookmarking this thread so I can remember it for each rollover.
