AA has said that he values defense at short over offense. And he's right. You have to be strong up the middle (SS, C, CF). Having a strong bat is a bonus.
Thus, I don't see Arcia being replaced due to his glove being so good. Plus his contract is a bargain.

Arcia is good defensively, but he isn't exactly Andrelton Simmons or Omar Vizquel. He has a bazooka for an arm but his range is just alright. The team would be just fine running him out there, but if there's an opportunity to upgrade the bat without sacrificing anything defensively, I think he'd do it.
Strider starting tomorrow and Ozuna playing 1B.
