There is a lot of talk about Micah Owings having an offensive role in 2008. I know the following facts:
1. A pitcher can be moved to another position, but not back to the mound in the same inning.
2. Substitutions can allow for multiple position switches.
3. Relief pitchers must face at least one batter.
My question is this: does there need to be a SUBSTITUTION for him to switch positions, or could he spell another pitcher for the remainder of an inning? That would be interesting to see, Owings come in from RF in the middle of an inning, with the starting pitcher moving to RF, and then switching back.
Thanks for input.
