One other thing, the FLEX is never the DP. Can she bat for the DP? Yes. Can she run for the DP? Yes. Can she be the DP? No. Never. She is the FLEX. The person who is in the game to play defense. Never call her by any other name. In the same sense, the DP can never be the FLEX. She can play defense for the FLEX, but she can never be the FLEX.

I think that concept is the one most people struggle with the hardest.

This strategy has one advantage over just using a pinch runner - your big bat never leaves the game and so never uses up her re-entry rights.
