Opportunity to trade a spare 2B as a Gavin Lux replacement.. EDIT: No way they trade TA7 to the Dodgers, but maybe Andrus "Miguel Vargas (JAN ADP 264 → FEB ADP 225) Vargas fits the profile of another type of player that typically climbs up the draft board as we get closer to March – talented young prospect whose outlook for playing time has been solidified. Early in the draft season, there was thought that the Dodgers would land a big name free agent shortstop to replace Trea Turner. When that didn't happen and the team committed to playing Gavin Lux at shortstop, it opened up the second base job for Vargas. The 23-year-old struggled in his 50 plate appearance sample during the 2022 season – but slashed a terrific .304/.404/.511 with 17 homers, 100 runs scored, 82 RBI and 16 stolen bases in 113 games at Triple-A. He'll hit at the bottom of the lineup, but with the Dodgers lineup being loaded once again it shouldn't ding his counting stats too much."

It’s not like football where you still may lose a challenge, you’ll know for sure if it was a strike or ball and it seems like that would be challenged constantly all game and end up slowing the game down. I would rather they just keep human umps making judgement calls, but doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. It's just like tennis. This is already in the minors where this is deployed teams have 3 challenges per game, which you keep if you were right and lose if you were wrong. It works fine. It also would serve the ump to get real time feed back on how a pitchers pitch is hitting the zone so they can correct mid game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Interesting that two of the guys who really bulked up, Lux and Suzuki, are already injured. Suzuki, in particular, look like he ate someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) Rojas could probably handle SS well enough and then Profar is still sitting out there to fill the utility role Lux has played for a few years now. But it's strange finally seeing a Dodgers depth chart without waves of depth. Edited February 28, 2023 by maxjusttyped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be opportunities for him still at 2nd and in the outfield given the current makeup of the Dodgers depth chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Well, if you want an extremely low-stakes trade, we did sign Hanser Alberto after he played in depth for dodgers last year. sucks for Lux, he seems absolutely devastated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess the Sox strength and conditioning people aren't the only team that can't get these young guys to figure out that extra muscle in moderation is fine but you shouldn't be gaining a lot of extra mass. You make your body work harder and your frame might not be able to handle it and for pitchers and hitters too it throws of your mechanics. It's often the front offices that have no idea how difficult it is to find and maintain that perfect weight for you. The season is such a grind that players lose weight over the course of the season and often feel they need to gain weight and get stronger. These front offices need to be more educated and find the right people to educate the players in classes about weight training, conditioning, diet, sleep,etc., just like classes about how to take care of your money and your lifestyle. Not everyone will listen but some will and it could save their careers and keep them healthier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
