Date	Question	Answer
2019-04-12 16:00:00 (link to chat)	Seth Lugo? I know he's had a rough start, but he could wind up starting and therefore worth holding in a deep league? (Vic from Baltimore)	If you just look at the Mets pitching depth, it seems like a good bet - there isn't a lot behind that front five, so and one of those five is Jason Vargas. That said, Lugo hasn't started for them since last June and I don't know that he has more than two good pitches, which isn't a good sign. I think the results in the bullpen will be much better than this going forwards though, so if that's still valuable in your league then I'm fine with holding him. (Darius Austin)
2018-12-06 20:00:00 (link to chat)	What role do you see Seth Lugo having in 2019? (sportsguy21792 from Madison)	Callaway was pretty clear on yesterday's Mike Zaun that he'd prefer him in the bullpen. I'd expect similar to 2018, multiple innings in high leverage wherever they need him. (Jarrett Seidler)
2017-10-24 20:00:00 (link to chat)	What does a Dee Gordon -> Mets trade look like. seems like it could make sense for both teams (Dan from Ny)	I'm with Jarrett ... the Marlins sure need some minor league depth, but the Mets don't have it. They could use a starting pitcher, but who knows how many the Mets have? Seth Lugo? I really don't know here. - Bryan G. (World Series Chat)
2017-03-22 20:00:00 (link to chat)	How good is Luis Robert? An MLB comp would be great and also where he'd rank in the top 100... thank you (TrickDaddy14 from Bronx)	I am not really qualified enough to answer this question. I mean, we did put Kevin Maitan on, so he'd probably make it. A FYI - gonna be a little slower responding as we get closer to and into the game tonight -- working on a Seth Lugo focused "real time" piece for BP Mets with regards to the championship game, but I'll keep taking questions here in between as long as they keep coming. (Jarrett Seidler)
2017-02-14 12:00:00 (link to chat)	Would Seth Lugo make a list if eligible? (Daquan from Tristate)	Lugo is a nice story and may be a quite useful major league arm now, but I don't think he'd be a 101 guy. More akin to like Matt Strahm. (The Top 101 Prospect Chat with Jeffrey Paternostro)
