What happens if the hitter who is listed as the catcher gets on in the top of the first? Can a courtesy runner be used for him? If so, what do you do if the coach makes a defensive switch after that half-inning and that player is now the third-baseman? Do the same principles apply? If so, would it be fair to say there could be no courtesy runners in the top of any first inning? Enough questions?

The CR can be used for the listed catcher in the top of the first. There's no specific penalty listed for then changing catchers.
