Related to the plate shoes discussion, what are your thoughts on protecting hands?

Obviously there is no protective gear for the hands, except for the old external chest protectors. Particularly on foul tips there is seemingly a huge exposure. Even a cheap pair of sneakers offers a certain bit of protection for your feet, but your hand bones are insanely exposed.

Catchers put their meat hand behind them and is the only position that is taught not to catch with two hands.

What say ye?
