You can, but then the name and value text may not come out where you like.
Most of the time I want to anchor the text differently for a rotated or
mirrored symbol.  See the attached image.  The symbols for R1 and R3 were
specifically designed for their orientation.  R2 and R4 were each rotated
from the symbols above them.

Yes, that would be nice too.  When I first started using Eagle, I
deliberately made all my own packages, symbols, and devices to learn the
package better.  For the first "real" project I started to use the Cadsoft
libraries and was very dissappointed.  The pads were strange shapes with
no identification of pin 1, and the symbols looked like there were hastily
done and often just strange (maybe that's a European thing).  So I
continued to mostly build my own libraries.  It seems like every project
needs a few new custom parts anyway, and I've got enough of a base now
that most of the general parts are already available.

On one project about 9 months ago I needed a standard 74HC glue chip, so I
grabbed it from a Cadsoft Eagle library.  Believe it or not, the customer
actually happened to notice the oblong pad shapes and lack of pin 1
identification and ask me "why did you do that one differently"?  That's
when I started my own 74xxx library.
