NewBy Bullpen Question

In reviewing the teams in my 2nd league, it appears many teams don't bother having a LHP in their bullpens. One has F. Vazquez and another has Will Smith. Other than a cheap LHP who I assume is the LHP specialist there are not a lot of LHPS in bullpens. Why is that? I thought teams would try to play matchups.

There's not a lot of there there. Ranked by salary, only 11 of the top 50 RP's are lefties.

might just be "one of those things"

I am about to start play for my 4th team and, without looking, it seems like most everyone is using plenty of lefties.
(both starting & relieving)

Couple of things, generally LHP gets pounded in this format ( 12 teams, top players) unless the LHP in question is VERY good. As far as playing matchups, you are then putting your trust in HAL to make the "right moves" at the right time, that's a gamble a lot of us do not want to take. If I do carry LHP in my pen, I carry only too types, Very good/very balanced or extreme to the LH side and set as a specialist max 1 ip, but YMMV.
