scenario: we have a player coming back from injury (ankle) that we want her bat in the lineup, but want to limit her play as a fielder and/or Runner.
solutiion: put this player in the Pitcher position. Immediately place the DP to physically pitch the game, and move Pitcher to Bench. FLEX is the 2B and will not bat. When the Pitcher position bats, if she reaches base, she may have a "curteosy runner" without it being a substitution per tournament rules.
question: does the "curteosy runner" rule apply to the Pitcher *position* or to the Player who is actually pitching (DP in this case)?
thanks.
