My understanding of this mechanic comes from talking with Billy and watching him in action.
Basically, it amounts to the BU starts in the position he would take with one runner on 1st. While you may give up a little in being able to watch the pitcher, you gain a lot in being in position for calls on the bases. No longer are you calling the play from the foul side when there is a batted ball to shallow right, for example.
I have a few two-man games left this season. Maybe I'll actually give it a try. If so, I'll let you know how it worked.
