Someone must have a voodoo doll and a grudge against Lutz.

Poor guy. Always breaking something. I wish him well.

Sadly, you probably have seen the last time he will be in a Mets uniform.

His injury takes 6-8 weeks to heal and then 2-3 months to build back strength.

After that, the Mets will most probably DFA him.

Shawn Bowman part deux, with more injuries.

I got to know Shawn in his last Mets camp. We talked long about the fact he was "David Wright" before he was David. He was thrilled that someone remembered.

Bowman had the talent to be an all-star, just not the luck and genetics.

He plays last year in the Atlanta chain hoping to follow Chipper, but his time was over.

Sad. Great guy.
