Well that has it's advantages in this case....but I don't like that mechanic as it has the possibility of making the BR think they are out. I could see the BR starting to get up thinking they are out and the fielder picking up the ball and tagging them in the confusion, before you could get safe out after seeing the dropped ball. I have always seen (or heard) "tag" followed by out, almost a clarification of why they are out, this would be the only downside I see to what you are suggesting. And that would be confusing....you would hear "tag" (see dropped ball) "Safe" (Fielder tags runner off bag, who thought they were already out) "Out". thats almost a triple call isn't it??
