IPP: Zach Lutz (formerly Zach Lutz)

[Vic Sage]

Zach could take Turner's job. I think he has the chops to be a better hitter, and he can't be a much worse fielder.

I imagine Lutz would be more of a fakir up the middle than Turner.

Made a nice defensive play at first base last night in the little of the game I saw. Could give Ike a rest vs. tuff lefties and otherwise serve the RH power PH role.

I'm giving him 100 trips, 6 homers, 20 RBI, bats 270

[Lefty Specialist]

Zach Lutz will lack zutz, and will only be seen when rosters expand.

[Edgy MD]

If Lutz doesn't appear until September, that means a 100% healthy season from both Wright and Davis, I think. My heart would flutter.

Recedes into organizational depth...

Or Duda's playing first and Turner's playing third in front of 300 or so fans.

But can he hit a guy with a shaving cream pie? It's the intangibles, people.

Nieuwehuis's injury today led Terry Collins to use Zach Lutz in the outfield for the first time, where he handled his first chance successfully.
