Wait a minute.

No, it's not. What am I thinking?

If Pujols gets injured and benched by DA, and DA doesn't put him back in his lineup because DA dropped out of the game, whatever pounding or not pounding of your SP or mine Pujols subsequently does still counts against our SP whether DA has him in the lineup or not.

The real Pujols is playing, so whatever he does to a SP counts, right?

So if someone drops out in the middle, he only affects himself, like I thought in the first place.
