If Elias told Holliday right now that he was in line to play 2B/backup CF?

Folks are saying we have too many prospects/players and not enough slots, I don't agree. Move O'Hearn and Santander fills his 1B/DH slot. AT can also be a backup RF. Your 4 OFs are Hays, Mullins, Cowser, and Kjerstad with Hays as the backup CF. All 4 play 3/4 time which should help with Hays-Mullins annual injuries. Hyde needs to IL them when hurt. Gunnar is left side and until he shows he CAN'T handle SS so is Jackson but not on OD. He only has 100 ABs at AAA let him polish his craft for a few months. Westburg did well at 2B and can backup 3B. Ultimately those 3  are your infield. Mayo won't be better than Gunnar or Westburg at 3B so shift to 1B so he is ready in 2025 to replace Santander. That leaves Ortiz who should start as SS on OD for a few months to see if he hits enough to be a starter. If not, when Jackson is ready, Ortiz is backup INF or traded. The extras are Stowers and Norby and nobody is making any spots for them in BAL due to defensive challenges and offensive questions no matter how much we like the bats. Urias has no role going forward, his 3B defense slumped as did his bat. He joins O'Hearn, Stowers, Norby as movable parts. Last man is Mateo who showed improved defense after recovering from injury and his bat works against lefties. He can backup SS (Ortiz) and 2B (Westburg) for a few months until Jackson is ready. If he can credibly backup CF even better. When Jackson arrives you decide between Ortiz and Mateo, loser gets voted off the island.
