I agree with you, Rich, but the whole thread is illogical as we are not dealing with a switch-a-roo, we are dealing with an injury. I would rule the same way as MLB did in this case. The game hasn't started, the player is now injured and will remain out for the game, put in a sub and let's get the game rolling. The OOF's trying to stick to the printed rule probably never ran into this in real life.
