OFer OFer, Make Me a Match (WHIR)

[Airborne24]

12 team ESPN standard 5x5 H2H league. After struggling all season with half an offensive team, I've finally gotten everything together through trades, waiver claims etc.

My one issue now is the dreaded "need to sit a guy, but who" syndrome. And conventional wisdom should be able to help me every night, but when Kubel goes 3-3 with a HR and 4 RBI while on my bench because "he can't hit lefties" it sincerely bothers me.

I'm thinking about trading Nate McLouth right now, especially since the first place team in our league (I'm in 8th, but only 4 games out of a playoff spot) could use some speed. I'm thinking I want a SP, or a closer, but I'm not sure who is appropriate value for Nate (who I managed to get in exchange for Eddy Volquez the day he went on the DL for the first time. He's thrown one inning since then. That trade was a winner for me.)

Who should I target with McLouth?

His pitchers:
SP: Sabathia, Kazmir, Edwin Jackson, Marquis, Carpenter, Zambrano and Feldman (with Meche on the DL)
RP: Hoffman, Sherrill, Broxton, Hawkins

Me:
C Mike Napoli
1B Prince Fielder
2B Orlando Hudson
3B Chone Figgins
SS Hanley Ramirez
MI Elvis Andrus
CI Derrek Lee
OF Josh Hamilton
OF Manny Ramirez
OF Jason Kubel
OF Nate McLouth
UT Dexter Fowler
BN Mike Lowell
BN Nick Swisher

P Cliff Lee
P AJ Burnett
P Wandy Rodriguez
P Randy Wells
P Andy Pettite
P Zach Duke
P Jarrod Washburn
P Joel Piniero
P Brad Bergeson
RP Kevin Gregg
RP Leo Nunez

I'd offer McLouth for Sabathia, straight-up. Failing that, try to get him for a MI upgrade over Andrus plus Edwin Jackson.

Help with mine? viewtopic.php?f=26&t=394140

I don't think you're getting Sabathia for Mclouth straight up. Can you offer up a mid-range Scherzer-type pitcher+Mclouth for Sabathia?
