Let's say you have some player who gets chronically injured (I know I do). Let's say your preferred replacement for said player is usually toiling away in AAA but is on the 40-man roster. I'd like to be able to save a lineup that includes the AAA replacement player, even though that player may not be playing in the majors.
If you mistakenly tried to 'paste' a saved lineup that included a minor league player, well, it would make sense for his place in the lineup to show up as 'blank,' the same way if your standard lineups vs. RHP, LHP, etc. features a player currently on your DL, it shows up blank. Then the lightbulb would go off, and you'd remember 'oh yeah, i need to call that guy up in order to use this particular lineup.'
Possibly this is blindingly obvious -- but I really hope the new saved lineups feature this --
EDIT -- maybe it should be possible to create & save custom lineups that can mix and match any players across your organization. This would esp. be useful during Spring Training, with the 60-man roster.

Great suggestion. I bolded the part over which I would salivate, even if it just applies to guys already in the bigs. Your idea would be even better and for that, I thank you and I hope it sees light of day.
