"they say that the SH should mirror the Blackbeard Pirates.. So, yeah, i think there would be a 10th member."

And by "they" I assume you mean the fans. I don't count Doc Q and Stronger as one member like many others(I believe Stronger will turn out be a dark, scary horse who can fight on his own), so we can get two final members for all we know and then the Straw Hats will truly mirror the Blackbeards. I'am not saying it will happen, I'am just saying.
