There is a little concern, I know, due to the fact that we only have one lefty in the pen (and that lefty rarely gets more than 1 or 2 outs), so I thought I'd take a look at how the probable players in our pen have performed against lefties. The "career" OBAA and SLGA numbers are taken from the Baseball Musings database and are from 2000 on (so, if a pitcher pitched before 2000, then it's not their actual "career" numbers). WHIP and BAA are for the entire career, though, even if they have pitched before 2000.
