Tremendous, no holds barred description of current Lux status. I assume also that his 2020 was decimated initially by C-19 (never acknowledged), causing that llate arrival and an obvious lack of maturity supported by body language and tentative & bewildering performance.. He stood on the wrong foot. Id so hoped for AWL or winter league in Latin America to combine with Spring Training to hone his groove for the season where I'd bet he'd have been given a lengthy leash to make the grade of anticipation. Now it's just down to ST.. My gut says he grew up more, and he kills it in ST and gets minimum a half season to be the stud of those lofty projections. If not.. AF will get value for him at the deadline. I'm so rooting for this kid to make me forget my wishes for
Have similar feelings about Lux. I hope for everyone's sake that he has matured and can have a long productive career with the Dodgers. But he also has market value and could bring back a nice haul at the deadline. Wouldn't mind seeing a competition between McKinstry and Lux in the spring and even a possibly platoon situation (with Taylor starting against lefties and the McLuxstry duo splitting against righties).
I believe people want to see professional athletes display the skills of their expertise and training. It’s like making Tom Brady play linebacker also. Wayne Gretzky play goalie?? If a pitcher is pitching well, but losing in the late innings, you gotta take him out for a pinch hitter? I’d rather watch him pitch.

that Merrifield trade that never materialized.
It’s not too late! But I know if he’ll ever make it as an infielder. Problem is, you have to thrown in the outfield too.

Only if Lux can play second without killing the customers in the front row.
