Obviously, the Dodgers do not have an immediate need at shortstop, nor is More importantly, the addition of Lux helps to fill a relative weakness in the organization. Several mental and physical errors in the field. Buehler was drafted, had TJS and debuted 2 years later. Dodgers won’t be giving out two 300 million dollar deals that it would take to sign Betts and Lindor in back to back off seasons. He looks completely lost. The Dodgers have optioned talented young infielder It’s not immediately clear why the Dodgers decided against carrying Lux to open the season. Thanks so much for the consideration. Thats extremely fast track. We by wouldn’t they want to gain another year of control? So Gavin is very strong in mind and he understands defense versus offense, so that has nothing to do with it.

The team won 106 games and lost in the playoffs, so went out and got better. A major cog in this team. Lux doesn’t show much in-game power at the moment, and the biggest debate with him is just how much room he has for development here. Lux will be a stud, but right now here just doesn’t look ready compared to those guys both offensively and defensively.

Where Lux ultimately fits in a major league lineup is less clear at the moment. But whatever it is he’s lost at the plate and that matters to Roberts. While other higher-ceiling prep players were selected around the Lux pick, few were considered to have as good a chance of staying a shortstop as Lux. Wrong!!! If he’s not raking then he shouldn’t be on the field.If it’s service time manipulation why did they call Lux up for a month in 2019? Otherwise, they wouldn’t have brought him up for a whole month last season.I doubt if service time played into their decision as much as he needs more time to develop at this point.If it is not service time it is ability. The objective is to win every since game and at bat since this is a 60 game sprint. Dodgers can build a team around Seager.Absolutely. Again, did you watch last night’s game? He has the frame to add strength to pair with his bat speed for average pop, but despite a high leg kick he won’t always fully incorporate his lower half in his swing. If the kid can help the team, they won’t have him sit out for more than 1/2 the season just to get an extra year’s control over him. Roberts clarified that his defense did not play into the decision. When you hear Roberts he talks about the quality of at bats even on outs.that logic is heavily flawed by them calling him up for September when they won 106 games. Gavin Lux, a popular pick to win the National League Rookie of the Year Award, won't begin the season in the major leagues. It’s called smart managementHe’s behind. The Dodgers made some headlines on Tuesday when the team announced that top prospect Gavin Lux had been optioned.The team will be sending Lux … To learn more or opt-out, read our It’s hard to picture a high school draftee as a safe selection in the amateur draft, but the I won’t be making a habit of giving prep players a 50-grade risk score before they reach full-season ball, but Lux thus far has shown himself to be a prospect with few glaring flaws. Forgot about that!They’re doing this just to get an extra year of control. Roberts did say that there will not be enough Dodgers players there to do full intrasquad games. Dodgers Prospect Gavin Lux Assesses Defensive Strides in 2019 The young shortstop has made strides in the new season. In light of last night’s game, where is Lux going to play on this team? If the guy is 2/3 the player Yelich is, he’ll be a great ballplayer.Guess the “Marlins” Yelich went right over your head. Way more likely he’s back in 2 weeks or less, like a normal DL stint@Fred if this is a service time move why did they call him up in September 2019? It’s in the Unions book. He has potential at the plate too, with above average contact and power potential. When a team is a deep as the Dodgers, starting positions aren’t handed to rookies. That’s the reality. Lux is a line drive hitter who makes solid contact, but tends to be a pull hitter and could improve at using all fields. He’ll be up within a month into the season.Did you watch last night’s game? Smart moveCeg is just mad that his Yankees don’t have the pieces to get Lindor.He is 22 and the Dodgers have two other capable second basemen. If they wanted to do it here they wouldn’t have called Gavin up for a month in 2019.people for get teams cant play no games this isnt a normal season.

Maybe they wasted a draft pick on a guy that obviously does not have talent.

With thirty active roster spots, there’s ample space to work with, though the Dodgers are surely committed to carrying loads of extra pitching. They can blame the late start to camp for it, but it’ll get them an extra year of control.I keep thinking that’s Sean Newcomb in a Dodgers JerseyMLB needs to change this service time rule. It had long been expected he’d be a key part of the roster after destroying upper-minors pitching in 2019 and holding his own over his MLB debut. It’s not just the numbers but the way he’s doing it. All the other guys are hitting. When he was in, the Dodgers second baseman also airmailed an easy throw from first base. It was clear that Lux was out-of-sync on three balls hit to him.
