Correct, but I don't believe teebob was saying anything remotely like what you inferred from his post.

If someone's playing OUTFIELD, he's an outfielder. Deep infield is still infield. And it's not unheard of to have 5 outfielders (or 7 infielders for that matter ... or even 10 infielders in low level co-ed slowpitch)

And if you're wondering exactly where the line is between one and the other, sometimes you just have to umpire ... but with respect to this rule I would keep in the front of my mind the purpose of this rule.
