Sean Burnett hasn't been reliable since 2012, and has been forgettable since, but gives Atlanta's bullpen another lefty option that may pay dividends.
Suffice to say, the search in Atlanta for capable relievers that throw with their left hands continues. After a long tryout featuring a number of lefty arms, the Braves broke camp with just one lefty reliever: former Brave Eric O'Flaherty, who was acquired from the Pirates. O'Flaherty's second tenure with the Braves has been disastrous, featuring a 6.75 ERA / 8.51 FIP and seeing him allow 44% of batters faced to reach base. The Braves bolstered their lefty relief ranks with Hunter Cervenka, a minor league journeyman who's yet to allow a run as a member of the Braves organization.
