Any help would be appriciated.

Whoever suggested that needs to stop suggesting things.
U1 (in A) still has fair-foul responsibilities and how do you suppose he handles that if he's sprinting towards second base. What if there's a fly ball to right where U1 should be going out?
U3 has either steal play. Once the play is over, then (if the situation warrants) the umpires can move to B and D.
