I know this is a swing discussion, but I have been having trouble lately with some of my footwork around the bag on doubleplays. I play second base, and my problem is receiving balls to the right of second base. Currently I just take my back foot to the ball and then just rely on armstrength to get the ball to first. Does anyone have a more fluid technique they would like to share?

webball.com has some tips on fielding, hitting, etc....as a matter of fact, at the same site there is some material authored by the distinguished jack mankin and tim olson
