Mathieu subs in as the slot and plays in the box. Mathieu would be a better schematic replacement for Vonn Bell than he would Bates. Given the style of defense that Cincinnati runs, they need a talented center fielder and that isn't Mathieu. He's great at what he does, but not at what Cincinnati needs.

I understand what he is saying, which is why I asked the question about past 2022. The likely hood of bates being here in 2 years is going down every day. Is put it at around 20%. So we need to compare mathieu to someone other than bates… and maybe bell. Hence the two fill in the blanks.
