Replacement for Utley!! HELP!

Alright well just when I think my team is perfect, my top star goes down to injury... I need a replacement fast to stay amidst the playoff hunt. My lineup is solid but the free agents for 2B are thin.

Here's my lineup before Utley's injury:

C: Posada
1B: R. Howard
2B: Utley
SS: Reyes
3B: C. Jones
OF: Abreu
OF: Damon
OF: Butler/Teahen
UTIL: D. Ortiz
Bench: C. Duncan, A. Gordon
DL: Pence

out on waivers right now I see the best options being..

T. Iguchi, F. Lopez, Belliard, Theriot and Freel

out of those guys whom should I pickup? I need a hitter I feel more for average and runs, speed is a bonus but not an essential in my opinion.

But the options are so thin I really don't know whom to go for. Right now I'm leaning towards Theriot.

What do you guys think?

I would just keep going with matchups till Utley comes back. No reason to just stick with one guy.

Eh, I've gone with Iguchi and enjoyed his hot start in Philly.

Hopefully Utley returns, but til now I think I'm good with Iguchi going everyday; transactions are limited in my league as well.

Theriot wouldnt be a bad gamble now that the Cubs have traded Izturis.

QFT...I almost picked him up for Kent in one of my leagues. In my 3 others I have Upton at 2nd.
