It is hard to evaluate Bates, at his best I don't think he moved the needle like a Minkah. He was average a lot too.
It's really hard to tell with what we have in Scott and Hill. On paper though, we lost a lot of starting experience. Between Hill and Scott, they have like 1 year of starting experience. I can't see how there isn't at least some fall off in safety play.
Of course there will be and no one has said otherwise, but we are hoping to minimize that fall off with faster guys, once those guys start getting more familiar/exp then the Safety combo could match or eclipse the previous one.
