I'd like to see Grandal be the #1 target, then get the best cOF possible with the bulk of the resources that are left. Spending the last of the available cash on a high quality bench guy like Asdrubel or a legit 4th OFer (or both) would be the final step(s).
Any money spent on the BP is a waste, in my opinion, much less buying 2 expensive BP arms. I think we'll see the opening day rotation be Folty, Gaus, Newk, Teheran and a young guy like Touki, with other young guys pushing Newk to the BP by mid-season (if he isn't traded). Fried is likely already in the BP going forward.
