The Diamondbacks are relying on a capable crew of right-handed relievers to shoulder most of the bullpen burden this season. But their embarrassment of righty riches might have some southpaws feeling left out. For one left-handed reliever, though, it’s not so wrong to not be right.
Andrew Chafin is maybe the only lefty safely assumed to be pitching out of the D-backs bullpen on Opening Day. Right-handed pitchers being in abundance this spring, Chafin could start the season as Arizona’s sole southpaw riding the bullpen cart. If he’s not too weird-ed out by it, that is.
