Yes, this worked

This still didn't work. If I selected "Major League" from the home team's left dropdown, then the visiting team would only offer the Major league teams. If I started with a minor league team, as soon as I set the left dropdown for the other team to Major league, the minor league team disappeared.

One of the most useful features in OOTP 2007 was that during a game you could adjust each player's location on the field. This no longer seems to be the case. [edit] I'm playing my 2nd exhibition game now, and once again I can move the players around. Don't know why I couldn't before. [2nd Edit] I'm playing another game now and once again I cannot rearrange the players. This is really wierd!

I lost my auto-select for this option while converting to OOTP9, but it has been reported elsewhere today that even with it set, relief pitchers could not be brought it.

Tracked this one down myself. During the conversion, the 2nd starter in my rotation apparently fell out of the rotation. When I reinstated him, he appeared listed in the lineup. Still, this is a minor bug. If you don't have a pitcher slotted into the current rotation, the game won't let you even fill the slot!

Thanks for your quick response. It is appreciated.
