If the system calls for PU to cover a BR at 3rd, same Q about covering 2nd?

Cecil,
When I work the rim, a double is the maximum I expect the BR to get, most stop at 1B. So,
1-I easily get a 90-degree for the tag play at 2B.
2-I'm not expecting BR to go to 3B and if she does and my PU partner does not get to 3B, I really have to move quickly to get there.
3-see #1
4-good question - this method does have the advantage of never having to turn to pick up either BR or the ball. When the BR does stop at 1B, I'm already at my starting position for the next pitch.
