The only way I have got HAL to do anything close to what I want is leave the entire lineup blank below the spot you want the DH--say you want the DH 5th, but want the spot left open because the injury goes away after the 1st game in the next set.
Fill in the first 4 spots in the lineup and leave the rest blank. Usually HAL puts the best hitter 5th and gets the platoons correct and does a reasonable bottom of the order. I went with a team (below) with no 1b at all, and left 6 down blank all year--Hal put the guy I wanted (Young) at 1b and 6th, and also handled my cheap ss platoon correctly all season.
