Under current MLB rules, can a pitcher switch to another position, and pitch again after that?

As long as the player does not leave the lineup, he can play anywhere the manager puts him.  He can go play first base for one batter, for example, and then come back and pitch to the next batter.  He just can't be taken completely out of the game and then re-enter it.

Needs to be changed in league setup.

The above answer is WRONG.  He's looking at the wrong rule!!!\n\nHe's awarded 2nd base.  Rule 7.05(h) One base, if a ball pitched to a batter, or thrown by the pitcher\nfrom his position on the pitcher's plate to a base to catch a runner, goes into a stand or a bench, or over or through a field fence or backstop.\n\nMaybe he should read the rules instead of copying and pasting them.

Not that I know of.  I agree that it would be a huge disadvantage to play third as lefty from a throwing standpoint.  However, a lefty would be better able to catch balls hit up the third base line.

The situation might change. For instance, if there is only one runner on third base and the pitcher balks, there is suddenly nobody on base. There isn't much reason to intentionally walk a guy at that point. Other than that, I can't really imagine a time when you might do this.

no the player can not.. he is under contract by mlb and all minor league teams are farm clubs of the majors

Down to the third baseman.  Usually goes 3rd to short to 2nd and back to third.  Every once in a while some teams throw to 1st, but it's pretty rare.  Usually third.

If the runner is in the act of stealing before the ball is caught, then yes the stealer has to go back to his base. The runner can steal a base if he/she waits on the base and starts running after the ball is caught.

No but if the batter on deck is the tieing runn he would be eligible to get the save.\nTwodog read the rules  pasted them here for you.\n\nCredit a pitcher with a save when he meets all three of the following conditions: \n(1) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and\n(2) He is not the winning pitcher; and\n(3) He qualifies under one of the following conditions:\n(a) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or\n(b) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat, or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batsmen he faces); or\n(c) He pitches effectively for at least three innings. No more than one save may be credited in each game.

I believe this is the ruling, but it has been a couple years since my son was in All-stars.\n\nA sub on the bench can courtesy run for either the pitcher or catcher.  If a pinch runner is used for someone else, that runner must stay in the game for at least 3 outs or 1 at bat.  This is the minimum playing time for each player on the team.

is there an unlimited amount of moves?...if there is, starting pitching is disposable...you should trade for closers, & switch out starting pitching daily...that way, you should win 3 out of the 5 pitching categories (wins, k's, saves)...closers with high value are Papelbon & Dempster because they can alternate between SP, RP, & P...if you're looking for stolen bases, i would try to pick up Lugo, Suzuki, Figgins...however, if you don't want to compromise HR, RBI's, etc., maybe you can get guys like J. Bay, Abreu, Beltran...hope this helps

--- You must come (in relief) into a new inning with a 3-run lead and maintain that lead until the end of the game OR come on in relief with the tying run on deck and maintain the lead until the end of the game.\n--- A pitcher can blow a save but get the win if the lead changes in his team's favor while he is still penciled into the game as the pitcher. If he pitches in the next inning and holds the lead, he gets the WIN.

from the catcher from to the ss to the 2b to the 3b to the 1b then the 1b hands the ball to the pitcher. some other people might do it differnently.

if it's on yahoo, a player must start 5 games at the position, or play in 10 games at that position.  pitchers must have 3 starts or 5 relief appearances.

I agree Jeter could do it.  The only thing I don't think he could do is with a runner on 2nd and a right handed pitcher on the mound.  Someone drops a bunt down the left side.  The pitcher can't get there, if Jeter does the runner is on third.

No.. a pitcher can only receive one or the other.  If he wins the game that means the team took the lead while he was the active pitcher, while a save can only be recorded when you enter the game with a lead intact.

Your scenario may be a bit toward the improbable side of the spectrum. However, if the pitcher isn't paying attention and time out isn't called, then the runner can steal second. Often times, when a player steals home, it is because the pitcher isn't paying attention, so it is possible to steal a base without a pitch. Then, when the pitcher actually makes a pitch, the runner can steal third. That would be 2 steals in one play.\nI guess you could try to stretch that out further and make it three steals in one play, but that would be incredibly improbable.
