I'm looking forward to the "chime, as long as you agree with me!
I say not allowed, to be consistent with not allowing a CR for a pitcher re-entering after a pinch hitter and because it violates the spirit of the rule. OTOH, if this happened on the field, I would not be able to think of a prohibition in the book and probably would have allowed it.
Most CR use is just to get in a pinch runner for a slow pitcher or catcher, so maybe this doen't violatethe spirit any more than usual.
Probably need clarification in next year's book.
