Suggestion
I would like the option to have 15 game lineups in addition with the current 7 game lineups. In fact if possible maybe the option to pick a day on the calendar and set lineups on that specific day.

Reason
It would be a great option for online leagues and give the Gm of a team complete control over who starts and when.
In addition those who wish to use actual lineups with historical players could debut their players when they actually appeared. Historical replayers could also have the option to designate certain times that players are called up, sent down, or go on the DL by having the option to make them active or inactive at certain times on the calendar. Historical replayers could, in regards to actual lineups, "set it and forget it".

Priority
I would say it is a Low priority. In other words it would be a nice option if one wanted to use it, and if Markus was in the mood to pursue historical accuracy to a tee.
For me personally (High to Medium) I would like the option to use the recently amended 7 day lineup feature, expand it to 15 days, and pick certain dates on a calendar to start a certain pitcher, kinda like Stengell would do with Whitey Ford and start him against the better opposition.. Gm's of teams that have wrapped up their division in mid September could opt to start their 5th, 6th, or even 7th starters more often to be able to rest their best pitchers and ensure that the ace starts Game One of the playoffs. The young rookie called up in September could be inserted into the lineup at certain dates and be insured of getting the playing time that the gm wants him to have. There is also the issue of getting more/less playing time in Spring Training for vets, rookies and that washed up player vying for the 25th spot on the team.
I feel it adds more strategy and control to the online Gm who has to rely on the AI to make decisions after the 7 day lineup runs out, ( when used) in particular I'd like to see the handling of pitchers in the waining days of the season be left up to the Gm and not the AI.
