Finding a lefty, putting him into the rotation.
Hunter Barco got a cup of coffee in the bigs last season.
He only pitched three innings, didn't allow a run.
Is he the answer there?
Eventually, but I don't think that's right now.
At least it doesn't feel like it.
But he does have the sheer fact that he's a lefty arm and a starting pitcher working in his favor.
A few lefties in the bullpen, but none of them have the makeup of a starter.
And last week, another lefty got taken off the shelf.
Jose Quintana, who pitched a half season in Pittsburgh a few years back under Ben Charrington, he's going to the Rockies.
So now that group of lefties sits at four, and realistically, three.
And you'll find that out once I finish here.
Tyler Anderson, 36 years old.
Last season he was 2-8.
Don't worry as much about the records of these guys.
A 4.56 ERA, ERA plus of 94.
League average is 100.
It's kind of like OPS plus, but for pitchers.
Pitched over 136 innings.
A two-war in 2025.
