Mullins is 3-for-22 this spring. He spent most of last year hitting in the bottom third of the order, though he did get some play as a No. 2 hitter when the struggling Adley Rutschmann was moved down in the lineup in September. Mullins has finished with .305 OBPs each of the last two seasons, so he ought to again hit somewhere low. He'll also probably do quite a bit of sitting against lefties, with Ramon Laureano stepping in and Colton Cowser moving from left to center.
