The right-hander always knew he could take the ball every five days and get outs.But when he became a free agent over the winter, other teams showed considerable interest in him as a starter. It reaffirmed that his decision to leave the Mets to seek a job as a starting pitcher was the right one.“I was surprised that all of the phone calls were about starting,” the right-hander told the Daily News Tuesday at Citi Field. “It wasn’t until the night before I signed with the Padres that I had a team call about relief. That was really cool. I didn’t expect it to go that way but it did early on, so it really kept me focused on what I had to do in the offseason.”Lugo signed a two-year, $15 million contract with San Diego right before Christmas, effectively ending his tenure with the Mets.
