I perused the GDT for last night and didn't see this discussed.
In the 8th inning last night, Dunn got on base and then Taveras entered as a pinch-runner. He scored and the Nationals proceeded to bat around. When Taveras came up to bat in that same inning, either Carpenter or Dibble (I think it was Dibble, but I was only half paying attention at the time) said that it doesn't count as a pinch-hitting appearance because Taveras was already in the game as a pinch runner.
After the third out was made, Taveras remained in the game in left field. My question is, what if he hadn't? Suppose he had been taken out of the game following the third out and someone else (I don't know who, just assume someone) had been sent in to play left, or Willingham had stayed in the game. How would Taveras show up in the box score? As it turned out he's listed as "pr-lf," but if he hadn't played left, would it just say "pr," or what would it say?
Obviously it's more of an academic question than anything else, and I'm sure (contrary to what Carpenter or Dibble said) the situation has come up before (maybe not in a game those guys did, but I'm sure it's happened), but it's not something I ever recall having noticed in the past and so I was wondering about it when I was reading this morning's paper.
