Standard Yahoo 5x5 roto (I have three separate teams)

I'm in first place with the following team (crushing in offense, and moving up fast in pitching)

C - Russell Martin; 1B - Carlos Delgado; 2B - Brandon Phillips; 3B - Ryan Braun; SS - Hanley Ramirez; OF - Grady Sizemore, Mike Cameron, Melky Cabrera; BN - Miguel Tejada, Nick Swisher, Hunter Pence, Adam Jones

SP - CC Sabathia, John Lackey, Dan Haren, Yovani Gallardo, Jeremy Bonderman, Joe Blanton; RP - Todd Jones, Jose Valverde, Kevin Gregg, Manny Corpas.

I recently traded Brian Roberts to the Chase Utley owner for Sabathia.  Now that same owner, in third place behind me by 9.5 points, has offered Griffey for Lackey straight up.  Although I am looking to get another above-average outfielder to complement Sizemore while I wait for Pence to return, Griffey just doesn't seem to be the one.  This owner's other top flight hitters are Sheffield, Glaus, Ordonez, Matsui, Burrell and Thome - though I doubt he'd trade any of those except for Burrell.

My question is this: Would the addition of Griffey really add anything to my offense (where I lead three categories outright, and am in third in two others for a total of 56 points)?  While I know losing Lackey would defeat the whole point of having added Sabathia. 

I just need an outside opinion on what you think Griffey and Lackey are going to do over the next two months.

If you are crushing in offense, why trade for offense.  Do not make the trade.
