I think Drabek is the best RH pitching prospect in that group. Arrencibia still is pretty highly thought of, as is Snider.
Of course, I'm good with the idea of bringing in a splashy name in the hopes of resigning Zack. Even if it's a risky long-term deal.

I don't know about that. I like Perez more than Drabek, and I like Profar more than either Snider or Arencibia.
I'm not sure Arencibia's defense is good enough to be a full-time catcher, making him a potential 1B/DH, which we have way too many of between Butler, Kila, and Hosmer. Snider is another bat first guy that is a defensive liability in left field.
I'd rather get a top up the middle defender in Profar who can slot in at shortstop if Colon eventually needs to move to 2B.
