Zach Lutz

After watching Olympic ice skating, how could anyone not adopt someone named Lutz? He's an infielder with some pop in his bat. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minor ... tz--001zac Later

Any idea how many you're up to?

MFS62 Mar 02 2010 02:51 PM Re: Zach Lutz

No. But several of my older adoptees have either left the organization or made it to the majors, so I had to kick them out of the house. Don't worry. Brad and Angelina's number is still safe. Later

Edgy MD Mar 02 2010 02:52 PM Re: Zach Lutz

Eight.

MFS62 Mar 02 2010 02:56 PM Re: Zach Lutz

Its not like I'm scooping up all the top prospects. Just players I thought it would be interesting to follow. (The last two because of their names) Many of them aren't on anyone's top 25 lists. And some that are, I adopted them before they were on any lists. (IIRC, I adopted one or two before they ever played a professional inning) Later

Lutz must have been an old English schoolmaster in a previous life, because he is punishing the ball thus far in the young AA season. 12 games, .375/.519/.725-- the later two figures leading the league-- 11 BB/11 K, 8 ribbies and double-digit XBHs. And, for all the injuries and years in the system, he's still just 23. Phwoar. Only thing is, we're a bit occupied at third. If the bat stays crackling, do you try him out at second?

Lutz put on the DL with a fractured foot. The one bit of good news, if there is any, is that the injuries in Brooklyn during 2007 and 2008 were in the RIGHT foot. This is the left foot. Is that better or worse? I guess it's not a winning combination no matter how you slice it. Later

Back from his stress fracture, Lutz is skating enough circles around the pitching in AA to make BA's 'Hot Sheet' for this week (at #12) - Team: Double-A Binghamton (Eastern) - Why He's Here: .500/.538/1.167 (6-for-12), 2 2B, 2 HR, 5 RBIs, 6 R, 1 BB, 2 SO - The Scoop: After rehabbing a stress fracture in his left foot for about six weeks, Lutz made a triumphant return to Binghamton, hitting a home run in his first at-bat. Lutz made a rehab appearance at high Class A St. Lucie before seeing action in two games at Binghamton this week, but he picked up right where he left off before the injury. Lutz, who missed most of his '07 debut season with a fractured left foot, has 18 extra-base hits in 37 Double-A games this year, including 10 home runs.

Saturday, 7/31: 2-5, HR, 2 RBI Sunday, 8/1: 2-4, BB, 2 HR, 4 RBI 4-9, BB, 3 HR, 6 RBI. Jesus, that's a weekend.

MFS62 Aug 05 2010 03:30 PM Re: Zach Lutz

Lutz now has 15 HRs in 155 ABs at AA. Later

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 05 2010 04:32 PM Re: Zach Lutz

7 of those in the last 7 days, no less. Hell, bring him up. Bring 'em all up.

Eddie looked fine at third base this evening - Not as good at the plate, though, as he achieved the dreaded Golden Sombrero.

Edgy MD Aug 12 2010 04:17 PM Re: Zach Lutz

Don't know what's going on, but Lutz --- who's been as hot as David Wright has been cold --- was pulled in the third inning last night.

MFS62 Aug 12 2010 04:21 PM Re: Zach Lutz

He was pulled from the game after GIDP. I hope he didn't pull a hammy trying to beat it out. I asked my guy at Mets Inside Pitch what happened and he hasn't found out yet. If I find out before I have to leave for work, I'll let you know. Later

MFS62 Aug 13 2010 03:24 AM Re: Zach Lutz

All he could find out was that is an "undisclosed injury, and he is listed day-to-day". Later

MFS62 Aug 16 2010 04:18 PM Re: Zach Lutz

My Inside Pitch guy sent me this link: At least it doesn't seem as serious as his prior foot injuries: http://www.pressconnects.com/article/20 ... gimpy-Lutz He also said he'd be attending the Bingy game on Tuesday to learn more. Later

MFS62 Sep 01 2010 04:16 PM Re: Zach Lutz

Got a report saying that not only is the foot ok (it was different from his prior foot injuries) but that he has been brought up to Buffalo to replace Duda. Later

Edgy MD Jan 03 2011 09:10 PM Re: Zach Lutz

His foot has apparently never felt so good. Just ask Yogi Lutz.

Zach Lutz is suffering “concussion-like symptoms” after getting beaned on Friday. That’s just too bad. My kid’s hitting .326/.417/.551 in 27 games in AAA. Later

MFS62 Apr 25 2012 03:35 AM Re: Zach Lutz

Welcome to the bigs, kid. Once you get that major league meal money, I'm not feeding you any more. Out of the house ya' go. Later

NEW YORK -- Zach Lutz is headed to Japan to play for the Rakuten Eagles, a sources told ESPNNewYork.com. The 28-year-old third baseman was hitting .291 with seven homers and 37 RBIs in 227 at-bats with Triple-A Las Vegas this season. He appeared in 22 games for the Mets in 2012 and '13, producing a combined .226 average and two RBIs in 31 at-bats. Have fun kid. You'll always be welcome to stop in for dinner next time you're in town. Best of luck. Later

MFS62 Jul 17 2015 12:54 AM Re: Zach Lutz

He's back! He's back! Signed with Las Vegas after a stint in Korea. http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/mets/p ... n-to-vegas And I'm singing: How you gonna' keep 'em gone for so long After they've had kim-chee? Later
