Champ or Chump: What to Make of Gregorius, Nunez, and Dozier

A few weeks back, I lamented Rich Hill's blister problem because it prevented me from including him in my NL trade deadline article.

Diamond in the Rough: Seth Lugo

Of all the Mets starters you thought you would be relying upon in September, I'm guessing Seth Lugo isn't one of them.
