It's kind of incredible how well our bullpen has done considering it's a bunch of right handers and one left hander with reverse splits (left handed hitters hit him slightly better than right handers, so he doesn't operate as your typical lefty out of the bullpen).

This is a good pick up. Finally a lefty in the bullpen with correct splits!
.197/.254/.303/.557 line against lefties in 66 ABs.
His overall numbers aren't incredible but respectable, with a 4.54 ERA. It looks like the A's used him as more of a typical reliever, with more ABs against Righties than lefties. We'll use him in a much more specialized role, I reckon. LOOGYs don't exist anymore because of the 3 batter limit, but if a team has 2 lefties in the next 3, he would be a good reliever to come in and keep it close.
He's under contract through 2027 and all we gave up was our 28th ranked prospect that I'd never heard of, Joe Boyle.
