Usually it doesn't matter if you set him as a defensive replacement or not--especially in a catcher spot with only two catchers on the team--and for other positions it can have some effect with the double switch--but most often no effect if no double switch set, as Hal will normally put the best defensive player in.
Remove for defense is a hard switch though--so if your other catcher (or whatever position) has Pinch hit earlier or is injured--Hal will pull him anyway and put an out of position player there if there is no player left for that position.
