The Daily Lineups screen is a great tool, particularly for online leagues. With Daily Lineups, you can manually set your lineup for each of the next seven calendar days. Since you can see your opponents and their projected starters, it gives you a great chance to make sure your best players are in the lineup for that big rivalry game.
Overall, the functionality on the Daily Lineups screen is similar to that in the Lineup sub-screens. Drag players from the roster box in the top left down to the individual lineup days in the bottom half of the screen. You can use the drop-down under the roster box to toggle between showing player ratings and player statistics. You can also use the Clear Lineup button to blank out a certain lineup or the Paste Lineup vs X button to quickly paste in the lineup you configured for that particular game scenario. There are several additional options in the top right pane of the screen.
| Option | Description |
| Use Daily Lineups | Daily Lineups will be used only if this value is set to "Use Daily Lineups." |
| Use default lineups if handedness does not match | Allows the AI to change your selected lineup 'on the fly' if necessary. For example, let's say your Wednesday game is projected to be against RHP Brian Smith. However, on Tuesday your opponent's star LHP comes off the disabled list and gets inserted as the Wednesday starter. If you have this value set to YES, then the AI will change your lineup and play your Versus LHP lineup. If this is set to No, then your planned daily lineup for Wednesday will play regardless of any changes in your projected opponent. |
| Allow use of depth chart | Allows the AI to make changes to your defensive starters due to injury or fatigue. If this is set to No, the AI will play the starters in your depth chart even if they are fatigued. If this is set to Yes, the AI might change your lineup if your starters are fatigued. |
| Sit starting pitcher if tired | Determines whether the AI should rest your starter if he is tired. If this is set to "No, force start," your starter will start regardless of his |
| Clear all lineups | Clears all daily lineups. (This will not affect the lineups you might have configured on the Versus lineups sub-screens.) |
Note: These settings work in conjunction with those on the Pitching screen. If you are in an online league that simulates more than seven days at a time, you should ALWAYS choose "Start Highest Rested Starter"! Failure to do so could result in some unexpected players starting games.
