1st and 3rd delayed steal. Need ideas?

Who do you prefer to get the ball from the pitcher with a right handed batter up to bat? If the runner at first delay steals who do you like to receive it.

I prefer the second baseman to come charging up NOT to the bag but in line with it and 5 feet from it and catch it. We have learned that the second baseman has to know in this situation to play more up the middle. Problem we have faced is when the hitting team fake bunt steals. This makes our two corner infielders charge and the second baseman has to cover first which is long ways to go if playing up the middle.

Does short stop have to know to cover the bag on a bunt but not on a steal? Though I don't mind the short stop taking bag on a steal.

Ideas?
