My league is currently in the middle of a slow email draft. I've been offered the opportunity of the next pick in the draft for Zach Greinke. Do you think I should make a deal for any of these available players? I won't be picking for another 20 or so picks, so all of these guys will be out of reach.

I'm thinking that I'd try and get a minor leaguer or late round draft pick in the deal as well, but I'm thinking that the group is too underwhelming.

Robinson Cano
Garret Atkins
Ryan Doumit
James Loney
Chris Iannetta

As for my keepers, I like to break them into tiers in order to sort them out. I'm keeping all 3:
1st Tier: Johan Santana, Carlos Beltran, Adrian Gonzalez, Corey Hart, Adam Dunn, Joe Nathan
2nd Tier: Joakim Soria, Zach Greinke, Michael Young
3rd Tier: Chris Young (SP-SD)
--------------------------------------
I also have an extra 15th round pick.

As for minor leaguers, I keep 5 for free:
1) Colby Rasmus (OF-Stl)
2) Matt LaPorta (1B-Cle)
3) Neftali Feliz (SP-Tex)
4) Josh Vitters (3B-ChiNL)
5) Michael Bowden (SP-Bos)

6x6 weekly HtH 14 team roto keeper (between 5 and 10 keepers (no time limits or costs), losing a draft pick for each after 5)
Offensive Categories: BA, OPS, RBI, HR, SB and Runs Scored.
Pitching Categories: W, S, ERA, K/IP, Quality Starts minus Losses, and WHIP
Offensive Starters: C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, 0F, 0F, 0F, UTIL
Pitching Starters: SP, SP, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, RP
Bench: 10 spots
Minors: 5 "free" keepers. These players if are eligible to be kept without the loss of a draft pick and in addition to the max of 10.

Thank you all in advance and as always, leave a link.

I'd make the deal, but I would remove Loney form consideration. Fwiw, all of them have a higher ADP than Greinke. Pitching is pretty deep this year. And, I think Greinke's long term value took a little hit when he signed long term deal with KC.
I'd rank them:
Cano
Atkins

Doumit
Ianetta

I agree but I would go Ianetta over Doutmit and Atkins over Cano

Atkins
Ianetta
Cano
Doutmit

help with mine, please?
