I dont trail much or at all with runner on 1b- too many times a play is going to develop (and develop quickly) at 3B.

Strongly agree. In JO FP the runner from 1B always wants to go to 3B and will, unless F1, F5, or F7 get there. I still go on the field, but shade more towards the center than the foul line. As soon as the B-R hits 1B I am moving towards 3B.
And, as others have noted - never come on the field with runners in scoring position (2B or 3B)
