Since the 2016 First-Year player Draft, Dodger fans have been questioning the first selection made by Andrew Friedman and friends. That selection was none other than shortstop Gavin Lux who is currently pushing for a spot on the Dodgers postseason roster. When we questioned the pick we, of course, did not have the inside information that Director of Amateur Scouting Billy Gasparino and his team had. Yet, it seemed to be a pick that did not add up to us.
One reason that it did not seem to be the best possible option was that another shortstop, Bo Bichette, was available at the time that Lux was selected with the 20th overall pick.
