LOOGY Looms?

According to the Chicago Tribune, the Cubs are still likely to acquire another left-handed reliever before the deadline.

Two names on the Cubs' radar are left-handed middle relievers John Grabow of the Pirates and Joe Beimel of the Nationals. Neither would cost a bundle, and both are effective against left-handed hitters.

Problem is, Grabow is about as effective against left-handers as Mike Remlinger was.

Grabow had a 1.51 WHIP (walks plus hits per 1 inning pitched) to go along with a 3-0 record entering Monday. Lefties hit .275 against him while righties bat .243.

When looking to acquire a LOOGY, I usually like mine to be able to get left-handers out.
