Some folks in our area are teaching that when third is the ONLY base occupied that the BU should position him/herself just to the 3B side of 2B (about 6 feet off) and behind F6. This provides a better view of the play at 1B and a better angle for the attempted pick off at 3B.
Sometimes F6 is playing too deep and it makes a rundown between 3B and HP a little harder to get to. I have tried it and have not really had a problem with it. You do see the play at first better especially if it comes from the left side of the IF.
