BP Annual Player Comments

Year		Comment
2019		Due to publishing agreements, the 2019 player comments and team essays are only available in the Baseball Prospectus 2019 book (available in hardcopy, and soon e-book and Kindle).
2018		The Dodgers may have the Gavin Lux-ury to be patient with their first-rounder from 2016, but after an underwhelming full-season debut and swirling questions about his future at the six, a strong showing in 2018 would help alleviate some creeping doubts about his future.
2017		Tagged as a potential first-rounder, the Wisconsin prep product was never bound to be a Royal—Kansas City lost their first rounder as penance for signing Ian Kennedy. Still, 19 other teams craved a different kind of buzz, and decided that this kind of Lux just wasn't for them. Their loss was the Dodgers gain; he stood out as a true shortstop in a class that lacked them, impressing evaluators with his professional attitude and ability to draw the most out of his solid tools. He packs a smooth, left-handed stroke at the plate, and while he may never have significant pop, he's shown the ability to drive the ball thanks to added weight. He's a high-floor prospect who has a good shot at reaching the majors; something his uncle and 1982 second-overall pick Augie Schmidt never accomplished.

Date	Question	Answer
2021-04-30 13:00:00 (link to chat)	I've invested a lot of fantasy cash in Victor Robles and Gavin Lux, but I'm obviously not getting much of a return these days. Should I sell or be patient? (Salad Parooch from Flavorville, USA)	It always depends on the value you can obtain in return. Just today, I dealt Robles in a deal for Christian Yelich in TDGX2. Neither are untouchable, and I would jump at a reasonable offer given the heightened risk for both. (Jesse Roche)
2021-03-03 12:00:00 (link to chat)	What do you see for Gavin Lux this year? There doesn't seem to be a consensus amongst fantasy folks when it comes to at-bats this year. Thanks. (Ryan from Des Moines)	It's tough because he's clearly talented but the Dodgers don't need to push him and they're the best team in the NL with or without him, in my opinion. I think we see more of him than previous years but I would not be shocked if he still doesn't play as much as we'd like him to in fantasy. (Darius Austin)
2021-02-23 12:00:00 (link to chat)	Your NL only bid on Gavin Lux seems pretty bullish at $16. Can you explain? Do you expect him to bounce back and win the 2b position? How worried are you about his defense? (Buff from Colorado)	Some of that was staff input...I had him $2 lower initially. But yes, I expect him to run with the job sooner rather than later. His defense worries me a little but with the shift a more prevalent part of the game than it used to be subpar 2B defense doesn't worry me as much as it used to. (Mike Gianella)
2021-02-17 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Does Gavin Lux get the 2B job in LA to start the season? How many Abs do you see him getting? Batting line- HR-Ang-Sb. Thanks (Mathews from Pennsylvania)	I thought there was a decent possibility he'd start the season at 2B last year, so maybe you're asking the wrong person. He has been striking out a lot, which is troubling, but he also hasn't really gotten much of a chance to get acclimated. Let's say 450 PA with .255/18/7 (Mark Barry)
2021-01-21 12:00:00 (link to chat)	Hi, Good Job as always..., can you tell me if Andy Pages got any love, there are many good Dodger prospects and it seems that each source has their favorites. Also so I can sleep tonight, could you tell me where Gavin Lux would have ranked had he not lost his eligibility. Regards, Mike (Mike in Vero Beach from In the Sunshine)	Not really in a Top 101 sense, although we did like him coming into the year. Another one where the shape of the season made it hard to pin him down to the point to push him as hard as one might have liked. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2021-01-29 12:00:00 (link to chat)	I know he isn't technically a prospect anymore, but do you think Gavin Lux is going to get enough AB's to live up to his lofty ceiling? (Ryan from Montreal)	Sure looks like he's going to be the everday second baseman at this point, or as much an everyday anything as the Dodgers have. I think 450 PA is probably the floor assuming performance/health (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2021-01-15 12:00:00 (link to chat)	What to make of Gavin Lux? Has there ever been any explanation for the late arrival to camp?how bad are the reported yips? Is a position change in the works? Would have thought he would have been up,earlier than he was. Dodger still high on him.?buy low or sell low? (jugdish from Faber)	He's probably going to be the starting second baseman for 2021, and we think he's fine in the short and long term. If he was still eligible I would have been hard-pressed to knock him out of the top ten, so I'd hold at worst, acquire if you can. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2020-09-25 16:00:00 (link to chat)	My keeer options are underwhelming. Are either Alec Bohn or Gavin Lux worth keeping based on long term potential? (Patrick from Minnesota)	Hard to answer without knowing the particulars of your league--how deep, how many keepers, contracts, etc.--but yes, both are worth keeping. Based on 2020, Bohm's stock is obviously up and Lux's obviously down, but I could see comparable fantasy output from both within a couple of years. In the immediate future there are still questions about Lux's development and his role (assuming he remains a Dodger), so I'd lean Bohm for 2021 if you have to choose for next year alone. Long term, I think they're both players you should try to hold onto, if at all possible. (Jon Hegglund)
2020-08-26 13:00:00 (link to chat)	We want Gavin Lux! We want Gavin Lux! Oh, wait. This is supposed to be a question. Where is Gavin Lux and can we please have him? (Chino5 from Capital City)	Now that Hernandez has come back to earth I'm a little surprised he isn't back up for a look see. Not that it's going to matter to the Dodgers this year I guess and they will do little a bit of service time manipulation, as a treat (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2020-09-11 13:00:00 (link to chat)	I specialize in giving up on young players far too quickly. Why should I be patient with Joe Adell and Gavin Lux? The eyeball test leaves me wondering about their star potential. (Li'l Sebastian from Pawnee, Indiana)	Really depends on your format/league. IF you're in a dynasty/keeper league you can't really just throw these guys away. In a one-and-done, sure, drop them if you need someone better right now. I haven't had a lot of Lux looks this year but he looked great to me last year and I think the late start has hurt him. Adell looks athletic to me and I think the bat will come around eventually. (Mike Gianella)
2020-02-28 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Give me the names of top prospects who are going to come up this year? (Charlie from Atlanta)	The list is extensive. Here are top-50 prospects who likely will be in the majors at some point in 2020: Jo Adell, Gavin Lux, Luis Robert, MacKenzie Gore, Carter Kieboom, Dylan Carlson, Nick Madrigal, Jesus Luzardo, Dustin May, Brendan Rodgers, Nate Pearson, Casey Mize, Forrest Whitley, Alec Bohm, Cristian Pache, Ryan Mountcastle, Spencer Howard, and Matt Manning. There are obviously others, and even more who will surprise, but I'd wager these prospects will arrive at some point. (Jesse Roche)
2020-02-14 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Top five second basemen in 2025 (steve from wis)	The most difficult part about this is figuring how who will actually be a 2B in 2025! Keston Hiura, Gavin Lux, Brendan Rodgers, Ozzie Albies & Vidal Brujan (Wander Franco & Gleyber Torres stick at SS) (Jesse Roche)
2020-01-29 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Keston Hiura vs. Gavin Lux: If you were starting a team from scratch and could have only one, who would you take? Bonus question: Same scenario as above, would you take Pedro Guerrero Jr. or Juan Soto? Double bonus question: Should Liverpool sell Mo Salah this summer? (Chino5 from Moe's Tavern)	I'd probably take Lux given his defensive value (he could play short). I will assume you mean Vlad Jr. but I'd still take Soto. No way on selling Salah. (Craig Goldstein)
2020-01-15 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Where are you on Gavin Lux this season. Please try not to hedge and say he will share time and get 400+ at bats, blah blah. Gimme something aggressive here! (The Way You Look Tonight from Elton John)	Understanding you want aggressiveness, you also want my opinion, right? The Dodgers are overcrowded and I can't predict injuries (though I do think Turner misses time at some point, probably Seager, too). I think he's a stud and that's why we ranked him so aggressively in the 101 (there's your aggression!), but the Dodgers attack the regular season with depth and I think his overall workload is going to be affected by that. (Craig Goldstein)
2019-12-18 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Jeter downs - dodger 2b of the future or trade bait? (Quincy from Ames)	That decision is probably a year or two off and who knows if there will even be baseball then! Funnily enough reading over our reports on him I was struck by how 2018 Gavin Luxish it sounded, now granted 2019 Gavin Lux was very much past results do not imply future performance where 2020 Downs is concerned. (Los Angeles Dodgers Top 10 Chat)
2019-10-21 12:00:00 (link to chat)	In your opinion will any of these guys start the year in mlb and what kind of playing time do you see for them? Nico Horner, Kyle Tucker, Gavin Lux, AJ Puk, Dustin May. Thank you (planetearth1love from Kansas City MO )	I would guess May and Lux are the most likely. Tucker has a shot, but he might have a better one with a different org. Hoerner is the least likely here, as he could still use some consolidation time in the upper minors, and was more of a break glass in case of emergency option this past Summer. Puk I could see either (I'd start him from Day one), but I think the A's will try and get the year back at least. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2019-09-06 12:00:00 (link to chat)	I resisted taking Gavin Lux with my last pick in . a 4 yr keeper this year. Do you think in 2020, he can immediately become a top 100 player? (Vic from Baltimore)	So some names between 90-100 on our position player WARP leaderboard include Scott Kingery, Jean Segura, and David Fletcher. I know this is a fantasy question, but that seems doable for Lux, broadly speaking (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2019-09-06 12:00:00 (link to chat)	Competing now in a 16 team Dynasty, do I cut bait on either Piscotty or Yandy? My 5 DL slots are occupied by Rodon, Taillon, A Hicks, Dom Smith, and Pressly. Have Gavin Lux waiting in the minors. (phgold09 from Long Island, NY)	I'd probably dump Piscotty before Yandy, but I also get weird about foot injuries. I'd probably prefer Lux over either of them for 2020. It's perfectly reasonable to drop Rodon or Taillon here too I think depending on your pitching situation. This does not constitute fantasy advice as you are asking the wrong person as always. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2019-08-26 13:00:00 (link to chat)	A non Gavin Lux related Dodgers question! Any idea what's going on with Yadier Alvarez? I know there were questions about his coachability last year and this season he only pitched in two games in April. Is it a serious injury or more? (David from LA)	It's easy to say it's just the trials and tribulations of a pitching prospect, but it's also kind of the trials and tribulations of a pitching prospect. Especially one that throws so hard. Finding news on and injury stuff is pretty tough, too. I think he'll be more frustrating than not, but even in a limited sample this season, the strikeouts have been encouraging. (Mark Barry)
2019-08-16 12:00:00 (link to chat)	Where will Gavin Lux start when he comes up? (Dolphin Pilot from Los Angeles)	I would guess mostly second base, depending on the health elsewhere, but the Dodgers love nothing more than moving guys around, so I'd assume you'll see him a few spots. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2019-07-19 12:00:00 (link to chat)	Ayyy! What the hell is Gavin Lux? (The Fonz from Milwaukee)	True talent .500 hitter. Also, maybe a cautionary tale to actually listen to my Texas League guys next time. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2019-07-22 15:00:00 (link to chat)	For all the talk of Gavin Lux lately, doesn't Isan Diaz seem like the premiere shortstop prospect for the rest of 2019, at least? (Jeff from Miami)	For contributing over the final two months? He seems like a pretty good bet. The Marlins have no reason not to play him and even if Lux does get the call, the Dodgers have so many pieces he'll be tough to rely on in fantasy. Luis Urias has got the jump on Diaz already, though, and he could easily be the most valuable the rest of the way. (Darius Austin)
2019-07-09 12:00:00 (link to chat)	With Corey Seager at SS, do you think Gavin Lux will ultimately play 3b or 2b? (The Colonel from Pasadena, CA)	Craig and I talked about this a fair bit Sunday. The Dodgers are his second favorite team after all. We'd both play Seager at third and Lux at SS in the post-Turner years, but think the Dodgers will play Lux at second. Could also be a scenario where they move them around some (more likely Lux), the days they want to get Muncy at second or whatever. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2019-07-09 12:00:00 (link to chat)	What odds do you give for these prospects to debut THIS season: Jo Adell, Luis Robert, Casey Mize, Dustin May, Bo Bichette, Gavin Lux. (The Colonel from Pasadena, CA)	Best bets are probably Bichette as a September call up and May as a utility arm for the stretch run/playoffs. I imagine the Tigers are going to be very cautious with Mize after the shoulder issue. Robert and Lux could hypothetically be an injury away at some point though. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2019-06-05 21:00:00 (link to chat)	Where do you see Gavin Lux in 1 year? (Frank from Brooklyn)	Being ranked really highly on the Stash List. (Mr. President Bret Sayre)
2019-02-18 16:00:00 (link to chat)	Hey Kevin thanks for chattin! I have my choice between Nate Lowe, Vidal Brujan, Gavin Lux, Nick Madrigal, Yusniel Diaz, and Ke'Bryan Hayes, in a draft coming up for 12-t keep-forever dynasty. I'm in the position to win now coming off a 1st place finish last year. Which of these TWO do you like most for offensive output? (djdj from house)	Long term, Madrigal for sure. Next, it's between Yusniel and Brujan. Brujan has more SB upside, Yusniel a safer floor and less speed. However, if you want specific help for the short term, Hayes and Yusniel your best bets. I'd still go Yusniel over Hayes for 2019 help--but take Madrigal even if he doesn't help this year. (Kevin Jebens)
2019-01-23 12:00:00 (link to chat)	No Gavin Lux in the Top 101 or honorable mention? (Tony from Wisconsin)	If we went to like 125, he'd make it. If you want to weight surety over upside he'd be a perfectly cromulent backend of the 101 choice. We just don't see any standout carrying tools here, and while we're more confident he sticks at short, it isn't a lock. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2019-01-23 12:00:00 (link to chat)	How would you rank my didn’t-make-the-list-all-stars: Xavier Edwards, Gavin Lux, Alec Bohm, Colten Welker, Luis Garcia (Phi), and Corey Ray? (Selig from CA)	Bohm, Garcia, Lux, Welker, Ray, Edwards. Welker and Lux are very close. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2018-11-29 23:00:00 (link to chat)	Thanks for the chat, Wilson. Am I crazy to think Gavin Lux is a top 12-15 overall prospect? Even if he moves off shortstop, the bat looks borderline elite to me. (Sam from Lakewood)	I'd temper that enthusiasm a bit, but I am also a big fan. I think he's much better suited to second, but that that's okay, he can be good there, and it won't ultimately matter too much because the bat is going to be very good. (Wilson Karaman)
2018-12-14 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Hi Kevin. I have a prospect-related fantasy question hopefully you can address. I'm in an NL-only dynasty 5x5 roto auction league. We keep 12 each year. Most top prospects are already on rosters, but there are a few still out there. I'm looking particularly at targeting Ke'Bryan Hayes and Gavin Lux. What are your thoughts on each regarding realistic ETAs, roads to playing time, and ceilings? Our rosters have a short bench (only 7 players), so I need to decide if I can afford to carry one/both all year should I draft them with the rationale that they will make an impact at worst in early 2020. (TC from Cincinnati)	I like Lux and Hayes quite a bit. Although long-term I think I like Hayes' offensive upside more, I'd probably go for Lux due to his current position at SS. Hayes has a much better shot at seeing an MLB roster sooner though unless the Dodgers want to throw him in at 2B. (Kevin Carter)
2018-07-16 19:00:00 (link to chat)	Thanks for taking the time to chat Jarrett. Since you guys seem to like a certain type of prospect nowadays- players with good bat to ball skills who who are underrated due to lacking a big power ceiling- doesn't Gavin Lux also fit this profile? (Barry from Brooklyn )	Sure. But we're always going to be a bit wary of a hitter breaking out somewhere like Rancho without underlying tools changes; it's the same reason Dustin May's performance is a lot better than it initially looks. (Jarrett Seidler)
2018-06-22 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Thanks for taking the time to chat Jeff. To what extent is Gavin Lux's improvement this year for real, or a Cal League mirage? (Matt from Freehold )	Wilson saw him recently and liked what he saw, but it sounds like the underlying tools haven't really changed. Balanced skill set, nothing plus though, and more a solid hand up the middle than a star. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
