What's up with all the hate for Lucas Duda? I keep reading how he's unstable and he regressed last year. He was slowed down by an unsightly June and July, where he hit below the Mendoza line, but there was practically no one else in the lineup. And, in August and September, once the Mets started trotting out real MLB players, he hit .259 with a.380 OBP, nine HR, and 28 RBIs. I know he's streaky, but I feel like if he was on any other team we'd be figuring out how the Mets could trade for him instead of counting down the days until Dominic Smith replaces him.
