If we are talking OBR rules, here is the rule-based justification for Bob's position:
OBR 8.05 End Note (b)
"
With a runner on first base the pitcher may make a complete turn, without hesitating toward first, and throw to second. This is not to be interpreted as throwing to an unoccupied base."
JEA Appendix 27 says the implication is R1 must be making a legitimate attempt to advance, and the pitcher making a play on him at 2nd, or it would still be a balk.
I don't know what you would have under FED rules.
Cheers,
