Active Lineup
Your 7 starters are your active lineup at the beginning of the season.
You may, optionally, substitute one or more bench player(s) for
the corresponding number of  active players at anytime during the season.
The team HR cap is always enforced. Any player that comes off the
active lineup is finished for the season.

Referrals
For every referral, earn five baseballs credit per activated team - no limit. All you need is an
account to start referring people. The referral is for the first year that the person activates one or more teams.

Bench Use:
You may use your bench player(s) at any time, for any reason. A player is finished for the season once
taken off the Active lineup. The system will not allow you to select bench players that could not
possibly be used. The system will not allow you to make a lineup change that exceeds the HR CAP.
Any lineup change is locked in at noon (Eastern). You only get credits for Home Runs while a player
is ACTIVE.

In this example, Active Lineup Total HRs = 140.
Bench 1 could replace Starter 1, 2 or 6 only since those 3 players have the same or higher HRs from last year.
Bench 2 could not be used as a standalone replacement since any swap exceed the HR CAP.
The pair of Bench players could replace either [Starter 6 and Starter 1] OR [Starter 6 and Starter 2]
