Pittsburgh Pirates: Trade for Left-Handed Phil Coke

The Pittsburgh Pirates have acquired left-handed relief pitcher Phil Coke from the New York Yankees. In return the Pirates will send cash considerations. This makes for another left-handed pitcher acquired. Since the end of July the Pittsburgh Pirates have added four left-handed relievers. The Pirates acquired Felipe Rivero from the Nationals, Antonio Bastardo from the Mets, Wade LeBlanc from the Mariners, and now Coke from the Yankees. These four lefties were added to a bullpen that already has left-handed pitchers Tony Watson and Jeff Locke. All left-handed bullpen soon?
