DP / Flex Help!

[Dakota]

The answer to your original #1 is "yes." Just be aware that the player who started as FLEX has left the game, and therefore has one re-entry remaining, so if you do this again, that player will be done for the game. You can put in a sub for the FLEX position, however, and go back to 10.

thanks

I don't understand this "followed to the bench" at all.

Simply put, when DP plays on defense for any player other than FLEX, NO ONE has left the game. The batting order is unchanged. In your example, F8 sits out on defense that inning, but remains in the game and bats in her regular slot in the batting order. DP remains in the batting order in her regular slot, too.

With the DP, you have a 10th defensive player you can use in defensive position changes just like any other defensive player with no effect on the batting order and with no one leaving the game, with the exception of if DP plays defense for FLEX, FLEX has left the game.
