That would set up these 8 bats perfectly. Then add one more A-list bat.
(and a couple of starters of course)

I'd keep Vladdy at 1B, the way they have handled him this year has been brutal. If you want the guy to develop into your every day 1B, he needs to actually play to learn to react in the moment. Practice is great, but you still need to do it in-game to really learn.
Same goes for Biggio, moving him around the diamond seemingly daily is not going to help him develop his defensive game. Have him play 2B, 3B, or OF; but have him do it regularly, without switching back and forth constantly. He is apart of our young core, and should be treated as such, not be treated like a utility player.
My perfect off-season would be:
Starting Pitching:Re-sign Taijuan Walker
Sign Brett Anderson
Relief Pitching:Sign Trevor Rosenthal
Re-Sign Anthony Bass
Position Players:Trade for Adam Frazier (Tellez+)
Sign Jackie Bradley Jr.
26-Man Roster:C: D. Jansen
1B: V. Guerrero
2B: A. Frazier
SS: B. Bichette
3B: C. Biggio
CF: J. Bradley
LF/RF/DH: L. Gurriel, R. Grichuk, T. Hernandez
Bench: A. Kirk/R. McGuire, T. Shaw, S. Espinal,
SP (6): H. Ryu, T. Walker, B. Anderson, N. Pearson, R. Stripling, T. Thornton
RP (6): A. Bass, R. Dolis, S. Yamaguchi, J. Romano, A. Cole, R. Borucki/J. Merryweather
CP: T. Rosenthal
