Rotation and bullpen are deadly with a capital D, and deeeeeep, also with a capital D.
Top 5 catching tandem in MLB
Bo, Vlad, Springer, Varsho were all positive contributors despite some of them having down years.
Plugging up 3B, 2B and LF will not be that hard to do.
Especially with Biggio, Espinal, Schneider, Horwitz, Orelvis, Lantigua and Barger kicking around.

3rd - open
2nd - open
LF - Varsho (question as to if he can be an offensive contributor)
CF - open
RF - Springer (question if he can be healthy and produce offensively again)
1st - Vlad (gotta bring his numbers up to what he was from three years ago)
C - the tandem was pretty pathetic last year. Questions as to what they can do consistently
DH - open
There are definitely questions and holes in the offence.
The bench guys, aren't amounting to much production-wise. Biggio turned it on at year end but truly hasn't shown much throughout his career. Sure, start him at 2nd, but he's still a question from a consistency perspective. Pitching is on point though that was largely because injuries were a minimum. Romano showed cracks though, so that's something to keep an eye on, though probably not a huge concern like the bats above. So yeah, I think there's a lot to address overall this off-season.
