Derrk Dietrich, Scooter Gennett....This fits right in there. He could be nothing. He could be useful.
He's not an everyday shortstop.
Of course the budget is finite. Would you rather have Holt and trust that the reds have assembled the bullpen or have the reds invest the money into the bullben and give Blandino the at bats?
Or would you rather have bullpen help and Holt or your extra bat?
We would rather have all three, but the front office may have to make choices based on their budget.
