2012
Lutz was limited to just 63 games due to a broken ring finger and concussion, but hit .295/.380/.500 with 11 homers and 31 RBI in just 220 at-bats. His path to the majors is blocked by David Wright and he's been injury prone in his career. If he keeps hitting and remains healthy, he could be used as a trade chip for the Mets to fill another need or replace Wright if he is dealt.
