DONALD LUTZ RUMORS & GOSSIP
In brief: Cueto to have 2nd rehab start
Last Game
Donald Lutz got his first big league home run with some style yesterday. His 3-run dinger in the second inning put the Reds on the path for a 1-5 win and a series sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers.
The win gave the Reds a 4-2 homestand and puts their record at 22-16. Even that is only good enough for second place in the NLC, though, where the Cardinals have 1 more win and...

Lutz's arrival a milestone for MLB
The former hockey player from Friedberg, Germany, sits in the visiting dugout at Wrigley Field and looks out onto one of the most famous lawns in America.
Donald Lutz, his chin burrowed in a grey Cincinnati Reds hoodie to ward off the damp cold one recent afternoon, is asked what it means that he's here, steps away from where Babe Ruth called his shot.
He laughs.

Donald Lutz has huge day of firsts
Cinco de Mayo was a rather memorable day for Reds rookie Donald Lutz. I guess you could say it was a day of "firsts" for the German native.
Lutz entered Sunday's game hitless in six career at-bats, but that all changed in the top of the seventh when he recorded his first big league hit with a lead-off single off Cubs pitcher Shawn Camp. Lutz would later come...
Shut up, Lutz
During last year’s spring training, I remember hearing about a prospect in the Cincinnati Reds’ system who grew up in Germany and didn’t play baseball until he was 16. He was raw, but he’s still in the system and has improved.
Reds manager Dusty Baker has raved about Donald Lutz this spring. Lutz, or “Big Lutz,” as Baker calls him, has a lot of pop in his bat.
How much...
David Bell moves to Chicago; Donald Lutz is AFL Player of the Week
Bell will be trading his Bats jersey in for a Cubs one.
It was only a one-year relationship between the Louisville Bats and David Bell as the 2012 manager has joined the coaching staff of the Chicago Cubs as third-base coach. He led the Bats to an awful 51-93 record during the 2012 season, in which the Bats seemed to be severely lacking in talent, in part due to offseason trading...
Donald Lutz participates in Javelinas offensive onslaught
The Peoria Javelinas crushed the Mesa Solar Sox yesterday by a score of 9-2. They pounded out 14 hits in total, while every starter got a hit except one.
-1B Donald Lutz was one of those starters. He finished 2-5, with a run scored, and is now hitting .438 on the young AFL season. He was the only Reds prospect to make an appearance.
2011 Season in Review: Donald Lutz
Donald Lutz came into the 2011 season as an under the radar type of prospect, noting in the 2011 Prospect Guide that he “had solid plate discipline and some good raw power”. He was a little old for the levels he had played at, but didn’t grow up playing the game so his actual age doesn’t reflect his baseball age.
Lutz began the season off with an interesting April where he...
You Scout: Donald Lutz
An idea started over at Project Prospect that I have borrowed because I think it gives some good insight into the players and what we can all see with them while watching the same video.The Reds added Donald Lutz to the 40-man roster last week, which was a bit of a shocker given he is a position player who has never been above Low A. He is coming off of a season where he hit...
