- Allow us to look at 1B replacement rather than 3B options, which should be easier and much more cost effective
That is assuming the Braves are even looking at defensive stats, which at this point, I'm not certain they are (evidenced by the lack of late-game defensive replacement opportunities that are not acted upon)
