Over his last 10 games, Lucas Duda has a .405/.512/.938 line for the Buffalo Bisons. In 104 Triple-A games, Duda can now boast a .306/.393/.591 line. That’s very good.

Duda has five home runs in his last ten games. The Mets have two. Last night, the Mets’ last healthy viable home-run hitter, Carlos Beltran, fouled a ball off the inside of his troublesome right leg and crumbled to the ground in pain. X-rays on the leg came back negative and the team says his recovery is day-to-day, but the Mets could have used another power hitter on the club even before that.

I’m repeating myself, I know. And thanks to the contributions of Jose Reyes, Justin Turner and Daniel Murphy near the top of the batting order, the Mets haven’t had a ton of trouble scoring runs of late.

But teams can always stand to score more, and it sure seems like adding Duda to the roster would be a good way to go about that.

Duda is 25, so it’s hard to argue that he needs to be in the Minors playing every day to continue developing — especially given his success at Triple-A over the past two seasons. Plus with injuries all over the place and Jason Bay looking lost, it shouldn’t be that hard for Terry Collins to find the lefty-hitting Duda semi-regular at-bats at first base, in left field and as the primary bench bat when he’s not starting.

Beyond that, giving Duda an opportunity to show what he can do or not do at the big-league level gives the Mets a chance to assess what they can expect from him moving forward. Though small samples abound, we’ve already seen signs that both Murphy and Turner could emerge as viable (and versatile) cost-controlled Major League contributors — valuable commodities on a team that has too often surrounded its star players with replacement-level dreck and a club that must be mulling whether to extend a massive and potentially financially limiting contract to its superstar shortstop.

Continuing to give chances to 33-year-old Willie Harris teaches you nothing unless you haven’t learned from the first 2597 Major League plate appearances that Harris isn’t much of a hitter.
