Reply to "Designated Hitter Rules"

So it plays out like this....P1 is the defensive starter and P2 is the DH hitting on behalf of P1. P2 hits on behalf of P1 in the 2nd and 4th innings. In the 4th, he strokes a base hit, so coach removes the DH role by inserting P1 to run for P2. This action removes P2 from the game and eliminates the DH. P1 is now both a defensive player and an offensive player hitting in the slot originally occupied by P2.

In a later inning, can P2 re-enter in place of P1 and become a full-time player (offense and defense)? (I think "yes")...

Also, can P1 re-enter to replace P2 in the 7th? Technically, P1 has only been removed once, therefore he should be able to re-enter, right? (I think "yes" again)...

And is it correct that, if using a DH, there are technically 10 starters?
