My gut reaction to that is that yelling "safe" where there is no play would also create a split second of confusion, especially with teams who haven't had that umpire call their games before. Teams would figure it out quickly, but I think that's just bad style. The book says to signal, so I signal.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
