<t>Mainer, thanks for a great post! Agree with most of it. A couple of thoughts:<br/> <br/> What we could sorely use is a LHSP. We have plenty of RHSP. I would happily invite Tyler Anderson or Jose Oquendo back to Pittsburgh if either would accept a reasonable 2-year deal. More likely, we could take...
