sounds to me based on the OP's original question and the rules quoted here that this could be use tactically.
the brewers pitcher/outfielder (i forget his name) could be used as a dh and then brought in to pitch in say the 7th or 8 inning, and then left in the game as a defensive replacement in the outfield.
the pitcher that replaces him (presumably the closer) would in many instances not be due to bat in the 8th or 9th, and if so could then be pinch hit for.
so i guess, unless i'm misunderstanding the intent of the OP and the rules, yes. this brewers player (is it kieschnick?) could I think start as a dh, pitch an inning, and then remain in the game. the brewers would lose their dh in the order, but late in a game ccould/would presumably be using short-releivers & pinch-hitters anyway.
