Yeah that's a problem for sure. Lobaton used to be considered one of the top pitch-framers in the game and pretty damn good defensively. Now he's producing a negative dWAR, which is hugely problematic since he's swinging a wiffle ball bat out there. I suggested Soto and Ruiz the other day, though it doesn't seem the Mets are particularly interested. Seems like they're okay riding Lobaton and Nido until Plawecki comes back (and Plawecki probably sucks, too).
Nido doesn't look ready. Lobaton is showing why he signed a minor league contract. I actually have more faith in Plawecki putting it together more than TDA. But right now its only spot in the lineup that's not MLB worthy.
