Yankees Mailbag: Luetge vs. Montas, IKF’s metrics, and left field

Good morning everyone, it’s time for another edition of the mailbag. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com.

mryan asks: What’s up with Lucas Luetge? I don’t understand. It’s one thing to not use him during the ALDS but to leave him off the ALCS roster in place of Frankie Montas makes no sense to me. Why would the Yankees sideline him like that? Montas has been injured and awful. Luetge has been solid all year and does equally well against right and lefty batters (granted his WHIP is a little high but still).
