So, obviously the correct order of these pitchers is Greinke>>>Lester>>>Zimmerman. But my questions is about trade strategy in general. We have three teams in our 14 team league who are ready to start selling. They have hitting assets but not at positions I need, so my interest right now is in pitching. The Greinke owner wants a ton--Michael Taylor $3, Daniel Norris $3, and Giolito (my best prospect, and I hate to lose him). The Lester owner is willing to take Taylor OR Norris and Dahl. The Zimmerman owner is willing to take Hahn $1 and Wisler. None of Greinke, Lester, or Zimmerman are keepable, btw.
So, do I go all out to get the best arm available, or do I save assets to trade later for other things I need? There is one more owner likely to start dumping soon, and he has the hitting positions I need--MIFers. I'm afraid if I trade my Taylor, Norris, and Giolito, I won't have enough of what he'd want to make a deal with him later, as I think it will take at least one of those guys in a package to land Hanley from him (my current SS duo is Brad Miller and Alexei Ramirez).
I tried asking the Hanley owner what assets he likes, so I can try to keep them, but he won't engage in any dump discussions at this point, and the other owners want to make a move now. So, which deal(s) should I do?
