Mullins, Cowser and Holliday all may have trouble hitting lefties. If Mateo can play center field it improves his chances of having a role on the team. Mateo can hit lefties, is the best SS backup defensively when Gunnar gets his 7 days off a year. Mateo can also be a defensive replacement at SS when the game is lopsided. But most of his at bats would come in center IMO.
Urias is mostly a 3B/2B guy. Can platoon with Holliday if necessary.
I think Mateo Is tendered a contract and they work out the details of where he plays in ST. He is a special talent that adds speed to the team. If he is healthy.
