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.

Baller Move: Add in All Leagues Owned in: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Tyler Thornburg was riding a hot streak from the mound well before Will Smith and Jeremy Jeffress were traded away, leaving a lot of high-leverage innings vacant.

Baller Move: Add in All Leagues Owned in: 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: The 28-33 range seems to be a fashionable time for veteran stars from South Korea, Japan, and Cuba to finally grace the MLB with their presence. 32-year old Yulieski Gurriel has debuted with a bang in the talented Houston infield.

Baller Move: Add in All Leagues Owned in: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Between young standouts like Carlos Correa, Francisco Lindor, Corey Seager, Trevor Story, Tim Anderson, and Alex Bregman; it would seem like the MLB has been given the unusual gift of early shortstop development in bulk.
