The Bichette question is interesting. He's clearly not at the point where he has full mobility, which is a huge liability at SS.
So maybe we bring him along as a DH or a bench bat. But if he's a DH, then the Springer/Santander paradox gets even trickier.
If you're just bringing him along as a bench bat, that's fine, but that essentially eats two bench positions as after he pinch hits, someone else needs to fill in for him defensively.
His bat alone may be worth it. But it leaves them pretty thin as far lineup flexibility and defensive maneuverability
