Well, that'd be a bad coaching move on your part. Good 1B's know where 2B is. There is no assumption to be made, the ball was pretty much right to 2B, the same play at 3B cutting in front of SS doesn't apply here, that is an easier play for 3B.
Let me ask you this...if 1B lets 2B field the ball and 1B goes and does what he should, are we having this conversation today?
