Makes no sense to send Baty down to AAA. What "development" are you waiting for? It's time for him to contribute to the big club even if it's not as an everyday player.
Second base, backup infielder and back end of the rotation: that's not bad in terms of question marks. Megill has one more option left, so he'd likely be the one to go, but at the same time, he has the best stuff. Tricky decision.
The choice between Acuna and Baty is the hard one. Luisangel profiles like a guy who's bored in the minors and underperforms, then shows what he really has when he gets to The Show. I'm not sure sending him back down accomplishes anything.
Baty is the one with something to prove. He's flamed out with every callup, although he's shown some marginal improvement each time. VERY incremental, though. If it's him, and he hits down around .215 again for a couple weeks, it could be his last rodeo.
Tyler is like the fair haired boy. He can be awful bad or awful good. I'd give him another shot at starting and if it doesn't work out, he could potentially be a 3 or 4 inning reliever. At some point the Mets will need to decided 2b, Jeff, Luis, or Brett. I think I'd split the baby by platooning the youngsters, and use Jeff in the outfield and lefty DH

Walton hits a wind assisted HR and suddenly “he has some pop?” C’mon. The guy has a career slugging pct of just over .300.
