Mixed-up positions on lineup card...what happens?
Let's say a manager decides to have some fun and mixes up the positions on his team's lineup card. For example, LaRussa decides to list Rolen as the CF, Eckstein as the 1B, etc...but the players stay in their normal positions. What would happen? Is there a rule against this?

[/ QUOTE ] This is what I thought...do you think they would make some sort of rule if a manager started doing this, as to eliminate confusion for scorekeeping? Or would they just allow it?

Re: Mixed-up positions on lineup card...what happens?
That would actually be kind of funny.
Could the manager just list everybody else (except pitcher and catcher) as being a left fielder? Seems to me this wouldn't be such a big deal either. I believe that basketball teams/coaches turn in a lineup to the official scorer before the game starts and I believe they would list positions for each of the players although I'm not positive about that. It used to be that this was always 2 G's, 2 F's and a C. Now there are various combinations of this ranging from 3 G's and 1 F or 3 F's and no C. I suspect the head-coach could turn in a line-up that listed all 5 of their starters as centers and it wouldn't make a difference.

List all of my players at crazy positions that they aren't really at and then watch the retarded opposing coach throw a shitfit when he eventually notices and thinks its against the rules.
