A couple of points: 8-9-6 says two things about replacing the CR on bases (barring injury):
1) The player the CR is running for may not replace the CR on base, and
2) The CR may not be replaced by a CR.
The rule does not say the CR cannot be replaced by ANYONE, only these two things, above, may not happen. That, of course, leaves replacing the CR with an eligible sub, commonly called a pinch runner. The only question remaining is, who is the pinch runner subbing for? That, of course, is for the player currently in that position in the batting order, or, the player being run for by the CR. The original CR still has not legally entered the game, except as a CR.
