One cannot simply replace Seth Lugo but one may give him company. That’s what Sean Reid-Foley has been for the New York Mets this year. In the absence of Lugo, SRF has stepped into four games, gone more than an inning in each, and held down the fort.
He’s throwing strikes—14 strikeouts in 9.1 innings and zero walks—and after four appearances, he has only given up a single run.
