concerning the OP - no in both cases.

That's what the OP is talking about. Be careful, there is intent written into the rule. Just because he slides toward the fielder a little and there is no alteration of play, no need to be calling a DP.
In order to get the DP, there should be alteration of the play. There are some very good threads on this topic in the archives, I could not get the link to work right, but it covers this extensively with all of the rules notated.
Thanks
