My thought process right now is that instead of having to click "update lineup," erase the position/batting number for one player and add them for another, there could be a "one button" swap option already on the front lineup page. Example: My typical starting RF player is Cabrera. If I wanted to give him a day of rest I could click a "swap" button and he and the player set as his backup would switch places... I.E. Cabrera would be the backup and the backup would be the starter.

Like 2 games lineup A and 1 game lineup B or 2 games A and then 2 games B or 3/2. (or use lineup B only for cup games) Why I would like to see it? Giving some players a rest especially the catcher. Or giving some young players a chance to play but dont losing competeness of the whole team. For players who cant attend the a 5 game series because of their time zone, this would give a chance to influence the lineup.

And I have even brought up the idea of being able to set players for "rest," so that unless there is a catastrophic group of injuries to your team, they would not play in a game and could therefore gain rest and be less likely to get a fatigue injury.
