Can you really cover the bases from that deep?

I believe base mechanics should be defined by the bases & runners, not the fielders.

Really? You are going to put yourself in front of a fielder because you think s/he is playing too deep? There is a reason they play that deep and it isn't so they have time to catch up to a ball rolling through the infield.
