Reds have to figure out where to put Candelario, EDLC, McLain, and India (assuming he doesn't get traded).

They could move EDLC to 3B or CF, but I would expect if they're trying McLain elsewhere, they are considering keeping EDLC at SS and India at 2B.
They are going to play Candelario somewhere with how much they are paying him.
Given Candelario isn't an overly great hitter, I wouldn't want him to be the primary DH, so he needs a spot in the INF.

If McLain can show he can play CF, that helps the team out tremendously I think.
I would assume it would only be periodically anyway to give Friedl a rest day.
