Quick question: If I have 2 catchers on my roster, can I start one at dh? Therefore having both catchers in the lineup. For some reason I'm thinking it wouldn't let me do this.

Sure you can start one at DH--I have a few times---some say that both can get hurt in the same game, but it hasn't happened in any of my leagues.

Biggest worry though is your starting catcher getting hurt in the first game of a set---HAL sometimes will not move a DH to another position to start a game so a bench player will go in out of position. Games 2 and 3 in the set is a potential problem here.

When I do a second catcher as a DH--always have a sub for the DH, and the second catcher at sub for catcher--that worked for me, but some say HAL will often not sub a DH even with the secondary lineup spots set.

Nah, your good to go.

The only caveat with catchers in this online game is if your catcher gets injured, HAL prob wont move the one set in your lineup at DH. So, you will end up with a position player not rated to catch, catching.

The one good thing is, when one gets injured, the other one will not get injured for any more than rest of game.

What we old timers call the iron man rule. Its kinda unwritten, but a nice lil piece of info. Load up on injury prone catchers, (just two) and when one goes down, you got a back up that is just as good as the starter.

Thanks a bunch!
