Yikes - that's rough.
But in the end, Pacheco is a better runner and Jet is a better pass-catcher and pass-blocker.
So apart from pure tendency breaking, what does MEH bring to the table?
Three headed committees only work if your committee sucks. With Pacheco and McKinnon, you have the bases covered for a genuine RBBC - ultimately MEH just doesn't have a role.
It's been a long-time coming.
I'm betting his long-term role is as a backup for a team that has a true 3-down back. Because MEH doesn't appear to have any standout strengths, but his weaknesses are pretty nominal as well. If you have him as a pure backup rather than part of a committee, he might still bring some value.
Think of him as a 6th starter type in a pitching rotation. His stuff isn't good enough to play up out of the bullpen in a specialist role. Nor is it good enough to be a genuine top 5 SP. He's there for long-relief stints and to play a larger role in the case of an injury. The specialists in the 'pen can't do that job as well as MEH could, nor could he do their job terribly well.
He's just a guy with an awfully narrow path to success at this point.
