SC UMP,
In "A" there is obstruction as the fielder may not impede a runner without possesion of the ball, unless fielding a batted ball.
However, in situation "B" it appears there should the umpire should judge that possession was in place because the ball was held during the collision and rule no obstruction and the runner out.
Situation "C" is similar to the play I posted titled "So what's the call here"?, except in my play the fielder was not in the pathway of the runner and had the ball in her possession... In Sit."C" we have the fielder in the path-way and no possession of the ball. Therefore obstruction should be called and the runner given home plate.
