Re: Lutz in 2012?
Can we name one that it actually did work out well for? Pujols is really the only one that comes to mind (albeit the 3 games he played at AAA)

Re: Lutz in 2012?
There are a few. But the evidence is overwhelmingly against.

Probably a few others. Although I am not sure if I am answering your question, as those guys all skipped minors. If you want someone from A to pros, I can't think of any right now. But I agree, it's a rare thing to have it work out well.. Wasn't arguing that it was a good idea.

Re: Lutz in 2012?
Kent Hrbek and Gary Gaetti were the first two names I thoight of. Some others on those Twins teams were called up from lower levels and went back down before being recalled to success.
