As I do my best to absorb the DP/DEFO rule to the point where it becomes second nature, this thought occurs. My understanding is that the DP can take any defensive position at any time (except DEFO) and not affect the lineup. Any position? Any time? Does that mean that DP can play 1st base for the first batter, sit down for the 2nd and then play left field for the third batter so long as she doesn't take the DEFO spot? Could she theoretically move from position to position with every pitch?

I know that scenario sounds highly improbable but it helps me to take things to their unlikely extreme to fully understand the rules.
And stranger things have happened.
