Very common with a runner on first to be a bunt, slap, or some type of play where the goal is moving R1 to 2B but a very real aspiration and possibility is moving (attempting) the runner to 3B.

I dont trail much or at all with runner on 1b- too many times a play is going to develop (and develop quickly) at 3B.
