Scoring question concerning the shift
On another board, jtur suggested that teams using the shift should place the third baseman in shallow right field instead of just moving everyone over.
If a team did this, the third baseman would be playing where the second baseman normally is, although deeper. So what would the official scorer notate on a fielding play? If the 3B caught a fly ball in his new spot would it be f-5 OR f-4? Would the shortstop have a "6" or "5" for his plays, since he is now in the 3B spot?
