Spoiler: The answer is yes.
While Tommy La Stella is probably the best pinch hitter in baseball, he doesn’t play too great of defense. Bote can play above average at two positions, and average at a third. Second base and third base are his specialty, while being able to play shortstop as well. Shortstop is a bit of a need right now, with Addison Russell on administrative leave facing a potential suspension and Javier Baez having played in approximately 154 games out of a possible 162, he is probably a little gassed.
