Don,

If a runner going into 2nd "reaches" the base before the ball then that runner is safe unless tagged while off the base or appealled for missing the base if they are no longer in the "vicinity" (IMO within a step or two of the base). So in your example of the runner standing at 2nd 6" off the bag on a force play, I've got a SAFE runner unless she is tagged while off the base.
