Two quick points:
1) How close is "close" when a runner is approaching the base? At what point should he run away from the baseline? 10ft.? 12ft? 44ft? It has to be ruled on a case by case, HTBT basis.
2) The FPSR was implemented to protect the fielder from injury, not to give him an automatic DP to reward his errant throw.
I wish the FED would do away with quite a few of its rules, BTW.
