If you are in the C psoition and the SS is playing deep, near the outfield grass, your angle to 3B is NOT 90 degrees 2B you are less than 60 feet from either 3B or 1B.

There is a difference between being smart and lazy.
IMO it's a good idea.
Once the catcher catches the pitch, or more specifically, when the batter doesn't hit the pitch, I'm moving to get into position to make the next probable call, the pick at third. Umpiring isn't about standing around and waiting for a play to happen, it's OK to move to a new position once the situation has changed.
