Soothsaying for Sixteen: Seth Lugo

I'm Seth Lugo. I was an indifferent pitcher. From a Division III school. ERAs in the fives for DIII schools don't raise eyebrows. But I went to a tryout, and somehow threw my best stuff. One scout noticed, and I became a a 37th-round draft choice. I put aside my geology degree and hit the grind, and somehow I did more-or-less well at every level before reaching as far as Las Vegas, where I held my own over 30 innings with a 4.00 ERA. That's the sort of stuff that gets you onto the 40-man roster, especially when you're 6'4" of hulking man flesh.

So, yeah, be a jerk. Count me out. I've been counted out before. But I'm making big league roster salary already, and that's more scratch than most of your geologists will ever see. I think you might want to think a few moments before declaring what I'm going to provide in 2016. I've surprised people before.

Geology majoe?
If he makes the big club, I promise to call him Rocky.
But I don't think I'll have to this year.

Here's what's cool about Seth Lugo: He shares a first name with Jacob deGrom and a middle name with Noah Syndergaard.

Lugo's full name is Jacob Seth Lugo?

Noah's middle name is Seth?

I had no idea.

Thanks for the reminder. I'll start calling him "Rocky".
