Well, if the new F2 was an unreported substitute, I definitely wouldn't allow the CR to run for her. The coach is required to report substitutions, and since he/she didn't, that's his/her fault, not mine.

As for a simple defensive switch, yes there is no real rule requiring any reporting of that. But I personally would not allow the CR to enter the game under that condition either. I still have no record of the new F2 playing defense, and my lineup card is the official lineup of where players bat and field. If it doesn't show the new F2 as playing catcher, I feel I can't allow a CR for her, regardless of the rules not requiring announcement of defensive position changes. The coach should have let me know of the change, especially if he/she intended on entering a CR for her.

That's my argument and I'm sticking to it.

That's pretty much the way I see it, too.
I was just wondering if there were any discussion points to the contrary.
(And by the way, that's why I try to stay "savvy" and notice those changes so I can deal with it before the CR issue cones up)
