The new rule is that you can not bring in a reliever to face just one batter unless he is the last out of the inning.  So no more bringing in a "left handed specialist" to get out just one tough left handed batter.

Yea, with the LOOGY basically being eradicated from existence, 2 lefties out of 8 is probably enough. 

Right now, I think our bullpen is:
Lorenzen RHP
Stephenson RHP
Lucas Sims RHP
Pedro Strop RHP
Raisel Iglesias RHP
Amir Garrett LHP
Cody Reed LHP
Matt Bowman/Joel Kuhnel/Sal Romano/Nate Jones (all RHP).

That last slot could still theoretically be a LHP, but who? I honestly don't know where else we can get a LHP.
