You can also play with all the above transactions, but set your own lineups.

I wouldn't count on it. What it has would be the same thing OOTP has, which is Retrosheet transactions. Those are a long way from being complete daily transactions once you get back 50 years or so. Anyone who got into a game that day should be available. The ones who didn't may or may not match the real bench, depending on the completeness or lack thereof of the Retrosheet transaction list.
I have a historical OOTP game going with real transactions and lineups set in 1901. I strongly suspect there's more bench and bullpen available than there was in real life. Still, no one else has 1901 lineups. Someone had to research that, and he did a pretty good job.
