Mets: Jed Lowrie has too much in common with Jason Vargas for comfort

It’s easy to pick on New York Mets pitcher Jason Vargas. His abysmal 2018 season turned just about everyone who has ever worn the colors blue and orange against him. He’s the kid who wears the same outdated t-shirt every day, unfashionable shoes, and shorts in the winter. Vargas is such an easy target, I sometimes feel bad for feeling so bad about him.

Unfortunately, after the grief he gave us in 2018, I’m concerned about who the next Vargas will be. It’s still early in spring, and like a mad man, I’m connecting the dots and seeing how much he has in common with infielder Jed Lowrie.
