@NicholasG - There is no advantage to either Rule or RuleDelayed in this case. I just tend to use RuleDelayed unless there is a reason not to.

To explain @BobHanlon 's beautiful answer, he creates a RuleDelayed that would replace something with a replacement. Then defines the something as a list with two elements, the first can be anything, but the second must be a number. All those lists are replaced by their same first element and as a second element the word "DEAD." Beautiful! Rule seems to work just as well as RuleDelayed for me, so he might explain if the latter has some advantage that I don't see.

lis /. {yrS_, yrF_?NumericQ} :> {yrS, "DEAD"}
