Ok now heres the situation (This is totally hypothetical and I'm not suggesting a manager do this) In baseball once you take out a player they cannot return them to the game, but the players can switch to any position throughout the game... Now the question is can the manager switch the pitcher into a position player, then later switch them back to the pitcher?
Example: Mariano Rivera is pitching in the 8th and retires the side. The yanks then score 5 runs in the top of the ninth, so to save him Joe Torre puts Rivera at first base takes out Andy Philips and puts in Scott Proctor as pitcher. Proctor gives up 3 runs and NOW can Torre put Rivera back as pitcher and take out proctor? I know the question is long but I wanted to be as specific as possible so there is no confusion...
