Just to save time and frustration, could we have a brief description of what the new customizable lineups feature does and how it works?

In the game there are all ready four lineups, RHP, LHP, RHP+DH and LHP+DH. The costume lineup lets you setup even more which you can quickly access from the 'Mange Custom Lineups' on the right of the Lineups screen. Maybe you have batter that owns a certain pitcher, or a road ballpark that requires a tweak to your normal lineups. You can create a custom lineup with a useful name like 'Coors Field' that you can use when playing in the high altitude stadium.

At least that is how I use it...

That will be useful, but what I'd really like to see, in order to make play in on-line leagues easier, is the ability to instruct the AI to look at the starters for the current day and use the custom lineup that has the same players. For instance, if the league is simming a week at a time and my center fielder is injured on the second day, I'd like to be able to tell the AI the position of his replacement (as I might shuffle OF's around) and where he should go in the batting order.
