It wasn’t too long ago that Gavin Lux was tearing up the minor leagues and was seen as one of baseball’s top prospects to keep an eye on. There were talks of him being the future at second or even short if Corey Seager leaves in free agency this offseason. That’s all in the past now as there’s a new discussion that should take place.
As talented as Lux was and may still be, could he end up being a platoon player in the big leagues?
First things first, this is in no way a smear of Lux or a way to completely write him off, but the 23-year old has not been so hot against left-handed pitching.
