Without the knowledge of whether there are any interesting free agents:
1. Between your 4 starters you have S33*. Your relievers are not going to get alot of innings in. Playoffs or no, I would try to improve a hole in my lineup before my bullpen. Tekulve cant pitch to lefties, so you do want to improve that but, so far, Moore is doing ok. Murphy and cosgrove have more innings than anyone but are doing bad. If HAL is putting them in in blowout situations, drop them for other cheap RP and try for some that arent too tilted against righties. The point of a Seaver-Koosman is that you shouldnt spend alot on your bullpen.
2. torre not in his good year is a drop for me.
3. Not a great fan of Campeneris but he looks to be in one of his decent enough years. If Templeton, Metzger or Dent aren;t available, I probably wouldnt bother taking the 10% money hit and risk losing 100 points of obp.
I would probably try to improve my C (not alot of great options but Hundley is clearly not in one of his better years) and get a cheap corner OF (gaston, swoboda) and cheap 2B that could hit lefties before I worried about spending big bucks on a reliever. Not sure what is going on with Holt and Grieve but dont expect that to continue.
some of your players are significantly overperforming their best years (Murphy, Oliva, mcauliffe, not to mention whatever is going on with Holt and Grieve). Don't expect that to continue. Id fill n your offensive holes before spending much more on relievers.
I would NOT play Murphy or Oliva against lefties. I would not play Holt at all, unless you really needed the cash. At best, you should expect him to have a 750 OPS against lefties. The fact that he is currently hitting 1200 OPS against lefties has no bearing on that.
