Infield Fly

Bases loaded, one out.

Infield is shallow. Batter pops a ball into very shallow CF. CF lets it drop and turns two.

Should infield fly have been called. I know that an outfielder can catch an infield fly, but doesn't an infielder still have to be in position to make the catch with reasonable effort.

I've seen it argued that if the ball being allowed to drop is an advantage to the defense, then IF should be called.
