Again, the word "replace" can be changed to "de-activate" if this is really causing confusion.  Before doing it I'd like to hear whether anyone else thinks it is a problem.

I read it as replacing to mean having a "2nd player available at that position" by activating another player, "so long as that transaction allows the team to fulfill legal roster requirements".  I did that by activating ARI Nieves (giving me 2 active catchers that are "healthy" per your answer to my question about DTD players), and deactivating MIA Marisnick (which still allows me to fulfill legal roster requirements as 4.1.1 states).

Brent, do you realize that this point about Mauer only makes sense in the context where "replace" means removal from the active roster?
