Fielder taking a little break (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
short stop
'fielder' is the definition.
'a little break' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'little' could be 'short' (similar in meaning) and 'short' is found in the answer.
'break' could be 'stop' (both can mean to malfunction or stop working) and 'stop' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'taking' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for short stop that I've seen is " Baseball player".)
