Didn't say theyd be as good, I said that they also have those two guys in iowa they can use next season to replace Shaw if they dont add someone else.
No there's no sure thing for utility players, but it doesn't help adding guys that are bottom of the list choices.
My personal preference for a bench...
You have 3 utility bats outside of backup catcher, At least 1 guy should be like the 10th man that can play multiple positions and be a good enough hitter. This year it Shaw
The other two guys should be a mix of either defense, power, or speed
