Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Help me trade!

14 team roto keeper league, 8x8

I've been in first place the vast majority of the year, but have recently been overtaken even though my total points have remained steady.  I've concluded that I have too much good pitching (projected to go over the Max innings by 45 IP right now, and thats with Myers on leave and Prior doing what he does best) and I'm losing ground in offense (specifically AVG & OBP...the only other categories I stand to improve are CS, W, and HLD.)

Current standings:

R    HR    RBI    SB    CS  AVG  OBP  SLG   W  SV    K  GIDP  HLD  ERA  WHIP  K/BB
12    13    14    10.5    6    7.5    8.5    13    7    14    14    11    4    14    14    14

I want to package one offensive player and one pitcher for a monster such as Ortiz or Hafner, and then pick up yet another middle reliever to help me with holds.

My roster:


C     R. Martin (LAD - C)
1B     A. Pujols (StL - 1B)
2B     D. Uggla (Fla - 2B)
3B     B. Hall (Mil - 2B,3B,SS)
SS     Jh. Peralta (Cle - SS)
IF     C. Figgins (LAA - 2B,3B,LF,CF,RF)
LF     J. Bay (Pit - LF,CF)
CF     R. Baldelli (TB - CF)
RF     M. Ordóñez (Det - RF)
OF     J. Willingham (Fla - C,LF)
Util     C. Granderson (Det - LF,CF)
BN     C. Delgado (NYM - 1B)
BN     C. Tracy (Ari - 1B,3B,RF)
DL     Á. Ríos (Tor - RF)
DL     M. Bradley (Oak - CF,RF)

SP     A. Harang (Cin - SP)
SP     F. Liriano (Min - SP,RP)
SP     E. Bedard (Bal - SP)
SP     D. Haren (Oak - SP)
RP     B. Ryan (Tor - RP)
RP     J. Putz (Sea - RP)
RP     J. Papelbon (Bos - SP,RP)
RP     B. Shouse (Mil - RP)
P     F. Carmona (Cle - SP,RP)
BN     R. Clemens (Hou - SP)
BN     M. Prior (ChC - SP)
BN     B. Myers (Phi - SP)

So what combo of offensive player & pitcher can I put together to convince another team to send me their single best player?  Delgado & Clemens?  Ordonez & Bedard?  Tracy & Haren?

Liriano, Pujols, Papelbon are untouchable.  Thanks in advance.

Ryan and Delgado
especially if you can find a team that needs SV and is doing well offensively.

Thanks
But I forgot to specify that i want to trade a SP, not one of my relievers.  My lead in the saves category has been decreasing (it's a differential of 13 saves right now), so I don't feel comfortable giving up a closer.  I think a month from now, if my lead is still around the same level, I will trade Ryan or Putz then.  

Delgado seemed to be my first choice to include in this potential deal too.  He's been absolutely awful for a while now...but he's likely to rebound and post his normal excellent stats, isn't he?  Which begs the question, is whatever offensive player I target going to be that much an improvement over Delgado (or rather Delgado's expected production), that it's worth giving up a good SP?

It's just an odd situation...I never expected my pitching staff to get so deep...yet here I am, forced to trade someone since I can't possibly use all these guys when there's a maximum IP setting in place...
