We have three solid right handed relivers in Iglesias, Hughes, and Hernandez, but we have zero from the left side. Both Peralte and Garrett were terrible last year and nothing in their track record indicates they will be better this year.
We have two left handed starters under contract who I assume we will move to the bullpen (Brandon Finnegan, Cory Reed). Neither of them have been very impressive, but sometimes a guy can struggle as a starter but develop into a solid reliever.
There are still a few left handed free agent relief pitcher, but they all have red flags. Oliver Perez (1.39 ERA) and Tony Sipp (1.86) were both great last year but both are 35+ and coming off of bad seasons in 2017. They could be good, but they look like a couple of flukes.
