F you guys. All of the above. I'm a greedy mother f'er. :)

Upton and Shields, but I'm adding the 25 million or so annually that'd go with that option versus Josh and Greinke.

I look at it this way: who do I think is the better pitcher... Greinke (but not by much). If we sign Grienke than we wouldn't have money to sign Hamilton. So I don't even think Greinke and Hamilton is possible. It's either Greinke and Upton or Sheilds and Hamilton.
Therefore I think Plan A should be Greinke and Upton. With that said I don't think we will be able to land Greinke because the money and years will be too high. A combo of Hamilton and Sheilds is a pretty awesome Plan B though!

I choose Upton, Shields and Greinke. I know, it wasn't list as an option but I think it's in the realm of possibility and I prefer Greinke to Hamilton.

What is the point of a Boner if the broad is wearing a Shield?
Correct answer is DROPS ALWAYS WIN!

Without money being in consideration, it has to be Hamilton and Greinke. On talent alone.
Coach
Upton + Grienke.
Keystone Heavy
Upton + Grienke. Second choice is Upton + Shields, and it's a close second. I'm as much in awe of Hamilton's talent as the next guy, but he cannot be depended upon. The comment that Upton would really benefit from RW feels right.

We may get MORE than we think.
I'm more curious to see if we get C.Santana
or an appropriate top notch Catcher.
HubZ
Shields + an outfielder not named Upton or Hamilton.
Oh...and can we get a do-over on Napoli?
ProfarMVP
Greinke + Upton + unloading Michael Young :D

You still have to pay Upton/Shields, and you're also giving up prospects instead of only money.

Upton and Greinke. No brainer.
