I use the GD Stance. I was taught by Gerry at one of his camps. My hands are on my knees with my elbows locked. However, most of my hand is to the side of my leg the rest of it is hidden behind my chin pads. My elbow is not exposed. While noone wants to get hit as long as it doesn't hit bone you shouldn't be seriously injured. The worse hit that I've taked is when my catcher completely missed the ball and I got hit on the left forearm. Couldn't move my fingers for a couple of innings. I iced it between innings and I was able to finish the game with no problems.

IMHO this is the best stance there is. Head height never varies and it's not tiring. Small batters widen your stance tall batters narrow your stance.
