| Lucas Duda responds to lineup shift |
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com (5/12/13) Mets outfielder Lucas Duda hit his eighth home run during a 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh Sunday. Duda was inserted into the five-hole in the batting order behind Ike Davis as manager Terry Collins grouped the left-handed sluggers together for the first time this season.
It was also his second start in the past four games as he lost playing time in left field to Andrew Brown during the series. Duda finished 1 for 4 with the solo shot in the second inning. Seven of his eight homers have been solo.

| Lucas Duda gets a day off Thursday |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com (5/9/13) Mets outfielder Lucas Duda is not in the starting lineup Thursday against the Pirates.
Duda will be replaced by Andrew Brown in left. Brown will bat seventh. Duda, who hit his seventh home run of the season Wednesday night, is receiving a regular day off. He should return to the starting lineup Friday.

| Lucas Duda adds homer to three-strikeout game |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com (5/8/13) Mets left fielder Lucas Duda connected for his seventh home run of the season Wednesday against the White Sox but struck out in each of his other three at-bats. His seven home runs are second on the Mets, but Duda has only driven in 11 runs this season.
His batting average remained at .239 with the 1-for-4 effort.

| Lucas Duda abiding to discipline |
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com (5/5/13) Mets outfielder Lucas Duda has earned plenty of praise for his newfound plate discipline this season as he's swung at just 33.5 percent of his pitches in 103 plate appearances, according to FanGraphs. As a result, Duda ranks among the major-league leaders with a .417 on-base percentage and .538 slugging percentage -- dramatic turnarounds from marks of .329 and .389 in those categories a year ago.
But that strict approach at the plate has hurt his chances with runners in scoring position. Duda is hitting just .133 with just two singles and two RBI in that situation while drawing eight walks, hardly the type of production the Mets are looking for when he serves as the cleanup hitter.
"A lot of times he wants to see what the pitcher's got. I totally understand that. But once you get into the game, in the at-bat, and there's guys in scoring position, and that guy lays a good pitch there, I want guys to be able to do some damage on it -- especially a guy like him that can hit the ball out of the ballpark," hitting coach Dave Hudgens told The Star-Ledger.

| Lucas Duda drawing a plethora of walks |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com (5/1/13) Mets left fielder Lucas Duda went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts in Wednesday's win over the Marlins, but he did draw his 21st walk of the season. He's now second in the majors in walks behind Reds first baseman Joey Votto, who has 27.
The patience has resulted in a .250/.424/.513 in 99 plate appearances this year. His on-base percentage ranks fourth in the National League among qualified hitters.

| Lucas Duda looked to be on the verge of becoming a viable option in Fantasy after hitting .292 with a .482 slugging percentage over 100 games in 2011, but he took a huge step back last season. After breaking camp as the starting right fielder for the Mets, he batted .269 with 11 home runs and 42 RBI in his first 70 games before his numbers fell off dramatically. He had a .241 average with a .391 slugging percentage when he was shipped to Triple-A Buffalo in July to work things out. Duda showed signs of improvement down on the farm but his struggles continued after being recalled in late August. The 27-year-old underwent surgery to repair a broken right wrist after suffering the injury during the offseason but is expected to be fine for the start of spring training. Unless the Mets bring on someone else, Duda will compete to be the starting left fielder during camp and should benefit from the fences coming in at Citi Field. Duda could be a nice bounce-back candidate for 2013 and has the power to make the difference in Fantasy. You wouldn't want to reach for him, but you could do worse than spending a late-round pick on him. (Updated 12/12/12) |
