If McKenna doesn’t give you defense he is virtually worthless at the ML level. 

It was a horrendous play, but why aren't you advocating for Cowser to replace Mullins? He has had a terrible defensive series so far. This is ridiculous. Bring up the guy who strikes out in more than 30% of his ABs in AAA, hits .219, doesn't have a great spring and might not be able to handle CF; all because of one bad play by the 4th outfielder. I'm just shaking my head here, and I'm not actually defending McKenna, I think that he could be replaced with someone more capable, but these hot takes are just silly.

Because personally I don’t see McKenna’s value and given that Cowser CAN play center, he would be the ideal replacement for McKenna. 
 

Mullins has misplayed balls as has Hays. That’s a fair criticism of Cedric but Cedric has proven gold glove worthy centerfield and will be fine. As will Hays. McKenna’s JOB is predicated on his defensive ability. If he can’t do the one thing that justifies his roster spot, then why have him on the roster at all?

 

The pitching is not looking very good so far. The defense HAS to be solid to spectacular behind whoever is on the bump. Cedric will hit. Hays will hit. Ryan does not provide the same offensive potential, not in the same neighborhood, not in the same universe. Mullins and Hays have value that McKenna just does not. Without defense Ryan is EXTREMELY redundant with this roster.  
 

I realize that it’s one play and one game. I had them improving by 5 wins this year. Yesterday might cut that down to 4. In a hunt for the playoffs EVERY game counts, even the second game of the season.
