For coaches out there, how often do you consider significant changes to your lineup?

We're about to head into our 5th tournament of the spring and there are a couple of kids who have improved significantly and a couple who are really struggling at the plate against the better pitching we're seeing this year. A couple of significant changes seem to be called for (last year's biggest bat can't make contact, meanwhile the kid we stashed at the bottom of the lineup has been a base-hit machine since she got back).

I want to give slumping batters time to figure it out, I don't want to break anyone's confidence but I also don't want to let it go on too long and wind up leaving wins on the table.

How often do you do major adjustments to your lineup?
