I'm not sure if it's all the minors but one of the Sox writers I follow says that AA is testing a new infield shifting rule

Basically, all four infielders have to be on the infield. They can't position themselves beyond the outer edge of the infield dirt.

You could still shift three infielders to one side of the infield but you couldn't put one of the infielders halfway into the outfield like most teams do now.

That seems like a good compromise to me.

Kind of related. This is among my latest faves for a hitter beating a specialized defense -- (link) - JD May 7, 08:54 [youtube]
