Sure... but what do you do when it's a SB/PB and there's going to be no play at 2nd, but possibly a play at 3rd. I've seen both inside and outside approaches at clinics, and I'd say most I've seen teach inside - whereas I prefer outside. I'm told outside (rimming) might become more preferred ... who knows if what I'm told is right though.
