OK gang, my AL obsession continues with this question on plate mechanics. Are there situations where the slot just won't work, where the old AL stance is actually better?

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, when the AL used the balloon protector, they had to set up directly behind the catcher. Typically, you would still have the corners, but lose the low pitch.

I believe Terry Craft still sets up directly behind the catcher.

Thoughts?
