Yes, runner would be replaced + all the runs would score, barring an appeal play. See 5.10(c)(1).

I don't think it's a silly question.

I found this post very informative. I look forward to reading through the "baseball rules corner" which contains 332 well-written articles. A quick survey on baseball rules alone found about 2000 articles. Looks like you opened the door to some very good reading material. Time will tell, thanks again.
