[IBL] emergency activation questions

[Russell Peltz]

I think it can be interpreted either way.

It seems reasonable to me to call up someone who plays the same position, without necessarily sending down the injured player.  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.


If the intent was that only the injured player could be deactivated, I think the wording should be made more explicit.

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?
