Where Lux has the most room for improvement is at the plate.
Non story. Seems like hitting woes spilling over to field.
Thanks so much for the consideration. I also think they will re-sign Betts. No matter what else happens the Red Sox got really lucky.Yes, the Red Sox were lucky. Better off just re-signing Betts and keeping Lux.This service time b.s. If those 2 guys are hitting and Lux isn’t it makes more sense to send him to the alternate training site and get the reps needed to get right. 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 Cubs will now get an additional season from Bryant.Awful decision. That’s more than half the season. They are doing it because he’s not ready.
This is a deep team that doesn’t have to rush players who aren’t quite ready.They’ll regret trading Verdugo for 60 games of Betts if they don’t win the WS this year that’s for sure.Dodgers have plenty of OF depth they wonât miss VerdugoThey also have uncommon depth with pitching, catching, and infield prospects.
Gavin Lux’s Scouting Report. Needs to get some work in before being handed 2nd base but I do think he will be back with the team at some pointEntered the game late, three hiccups defensively. Again, did you watch last night’s game?
Consistently hitting in the hole with two strikes, 0-2, 1-2. Seager had one off year recovering from an injury and the mob wanted to trade him.

Bad on the field too. If they don’t like it, they shouldn’t have signed itThey didn’t need a viable reason.
If the kid can help the team, they wonât have him sit out for more than 1/2 the season just to get an extra yearâs control over him. Lux will be back up at some point once he gets back into game shape and gets his head right. Lux is as lost you can be at the plate.
It’s one thing if he’s having good at bats without success but that’s not the case. He appears quicker to the ball in cages compared to game film, but as a prep player, this should easily improve with in-game repetitions. And so it probably bled into his psyche a little bit. 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 … He is an avid Dodgers and Lakers fan, and can be spotted fairly often at Dodger Stadium and Staples Center.The young man was not ready. Whatever the reasoning, the service implications are hard to ignore given that the team could stand to pick up an extra year of control on the back end.Jays are doing it with Pearson as well.
Who’s spot is he going to take?Lux won’t be happy after a lot of teams WANTED him,cause they believe he’s a can’t miss player and Robert’s sends him out.Tipical of Robert’s stupidity,HE send Dustin too and Gonsolin but kept lousy pitchers floor and Alexander and thinks Wood is better.If Kershaw doesn’t go on IL He Wouldn’t have pitched opener.RELEASED WOOD NOW HE SUCKS BIGTIME.MAY IS BETTER.Get all the Best Dodgers stories straight to your Inbox!Don't Miss Any of the Latest Dodgers News, Rumors, and Exclusive Offers!Dodgers Nation is a small business founded and run by Dodger fans born in Los Angeles.
Shaky on the field too.
The first shortstop selected in the 2016 MLB First-Year Player Draft was Gavin Lux, a then 18-year-old player from Indian Trail High School in Kenosha, Wisconsin.Kenosha, Wisconsin is not exactly “The Cradle of Shortstops.” That prestigious title belongs to the city of San Pedro de Macoris in the Dominican Republic. He’s the perfect fit for the team and its winning culture. Don’t know if it was his fault or just circumstances but he wasn’t ready. How is it such a big deal when teams play by the rules??
Go Dodgers!Dodgers: Dave Roberts Explains Why Gavin Lux was Optioned to Alternate SiteJT doesn’t think the punishment fits the crime for Houston. in 53 years of following the team, this is my favorite era ever. He touched on his time after being reassigned to minor league camp in March.Going into spring training and struggling a little bit, but as soon as I got back down to minor league camp, we really hammered on defense, and that was a big priority of mine that I really needed to improve on.This year I think it’s been night and day compared to the last few years, and I think a lot more confidence. WASHINGTON, DC – OCTOBER 06: Gavin Lux #48 of the Los Angeles Dodgers reacts after striking out in the second inning of Game 3 of the NLDS against the … The ads on the site are the primary source of income for our team and we would appreciate if you could whitelist our site in your adblocker, so that we can continue managing this amazing community! Nothing against him, it’s just right now where we’re at, we hope for Gavin to log some at-bats at the off-site, at USC and be ready when called upon.Lux showed up to camp late for personal reasons and never really got that many live at-bats. Lux was surprisingly optioned to the Dodgers' alternate site prior to the start of the season. He came late to summer camp and has looked behind in intrasquad games and the exhibition vs. Arizona.
Never will.This is 100% service time manipulation, and thereâs nothing Lux can do about it, since the Dodgers are such a deeply talented team at positions he would line up at.
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? The uber-deep organization certainly has many viable candidates to cycle through at second base, where Lux had been the presumed option, though it’s still a bit difficult to imagine he truly fell short on a pure talent assessment.It’ll be interesting to see how the organization (and Lux himself) discuss the decision when reporters have a chance to pose some questions.
