I also hope they sign Bellinger.
These are risky moves but probably add 4 wins on the low side and maybe as much as 10 wins on the upside.
Springer - RF/DH
Bichette - SS
Guerrero - 1B/DH
Machado - 3B
Bellinger - 1B/OF
Kirk/Jansen - C
Varsho - CF/LF
Biggio/Schneider/IKF - 2B/3B/SS
Kiermaier - CF/LF

I like the idea of Machado, but that contract is going to be paid until he's 41! You'd have to get a damn good prospect with him to make it worth your time, and I don't think SD would be inclined to include a prospect with him (but would want something in return). Seems like they're stuck with him.
