With the recent emergence of playing time for Robinson and Paul getting almost all of the other starts, it's about time to send Lutz down. I assume that happens whenever Heisey comes back? (Sigh.)

Yeah that would be my guess. He has options and though I like his potential, he didn't exactly "wow" anyone during his limited time here. He definitely has some things to work on if he wants to stick in the future (do people not walk in Germany?) Still, it's nice to know he's in the system
I agree. I can see potential with him, and the increased number of ABs he will get at AAA should help him to improve.

Lutz should go back down to AA, instead of AAA, he has not had great success at that level yet. They will likely send him to Louisville, but it should be Florida.
Hehe. But heck yeah. We walk over here. But i was thinking more or less the same thing. "Junge, mehr Geduld am Schlag. Schwing nicht nach jedem Mist!" translated being "Kid learn to have patience and donīt swing at any crap you are seeing!"
I really love the fact that the first "real" German ever to make it to The Show is playing for our beloved organisation. But he had to be called up waaaay to early. Send him down again asap so he really gets the chance to play every day. Cause thatīs what he really needs.

Not so sure spending a little time in the Bigs stunts guys growth. Maybe it serves to show guys how far they need to go to make it. And gives them a taste of the sweet life, so when they go back down they are that much more determined to get back.
I'm guessing several years in the minors can seem like a forced-march at times.

I'd like to see Lutz in Louisville.

I will contribute nothing by adding that I also like his potential and hope he can improve with some more time in the minors. I'd like to see some consistency in LF. I don't know what the stats are showing, but defensively I think Choo has been looking much better (in the recent games I've seen). Against the Giants the other night he had to long balls hit over his head to the warning track that he chased down with no problem. I wish his May hitting would come back though.
