I think bloopers to short right with a play at 1B (with BU potentially in the way) and the few token IP's called from A do bear some consideration when discussing moving the BU to B to start with.

I would think better positioning on extra base hits and routine plays at 1b do in fact out weight that, but like I said, I wouldnt mind trying it on for size. Who knows, maybe next fall ball, when all the NCAA folks have worked it for a year and I have one of them for a partner, I will try it.
