[IBL] emergency activation questions

[Sean Sweda]

Good enough for me, unless there is any objection the word "replace" in the first sentence of 4.1.1 will be changed to "de-activate".

Are there any similar concerns about 3.3.3?

3.3.3   Playoff Roster In-Series Injury Replacements

A team may (but is not required to) replace a player on its playoff roster 
who is injured during the playoffs and will miss games of a subsequent
series. The injured player who is removed from the active roster will be 
ineligible to be re-added to the active roster for the next series, 
regardless of subsequent injuries.

The rule seems to exist to allow you to maintain a legal roster after a mid-series injury, and calling up a third catcher when both other catchers are hurt seems to be within the spirit of the rules.

Sean, if I recall correctly, you said at one point in the past that a DTD player counts as "healthy" in that regard.  If that's the case, then bringing up Nieves and having Montero DTD fulfills the "2 at each position" requirement.

"Replace" in the context of the active roster should be considered to be synonymous with "de-activate".  Similar wording is used in 3.3.3.  The word can be changed via edit, does anyone else think this is necessary?
