Also, wouldn't Abel be the next batter since he follows Irvin for whom Jones is batting for? If not, how did you get Baker to be the next batter when Abel, who follows Irvin/Jones, hasn't been up to bat? Greg

Once Jones re-enters illegally for Abel, Jones is an illegal sub for the rest of the time he is in the game. If it's discovered while Jones is at bat, on base or before the next pitch (once he leaves base), Jones is out and out.

You are correct that Abel (or Abel's legal sub) will be the next batter. I looked at the illegal line-up I gave and put down the next batter after Jones, even though Jones was BOO.
