Wait until you get to the designated hitter rule. On one hand, it states the DH and DEFO cannot be in the batting order at the same time, but if the DH goes in to play defense for anyone other than the DEFO, the DEFO must assume the batting position of the person for whom the DH is now playing defense!!
Then there is the substitution rule which allows players who have no eligibility remaining to re-enter the game. (This one was created to eliminate forfiets, but can be quite confusing if you're not on your toes).
What would a rule book be without typos, anyway?
Enjoy !
