The Dodgers make a classic blunder by moving their star player (Betts) to accommodate a lesser player (Lux).
Hi, and welcome to another edition of Dodgers Dugout. My name is Houston Mitchell and we're just one week away from the Dodgers' traditional opening day: March 20 at 3 a.m. PDT in South Korea against the San Diego Padres. Gavin Lux has worked hard at rehabbing the knee surgery that cost him all of last season. He was all set to start at shortstop on opening day. But then the exhibition games began and a problem cropped up: He forgot how to field.
320 this season, play flawless defense and Betts win the MVP award. What do you think? Who should be the starting shortstop? Vote here in our informal survey and let us know. The Dodgers sent the following players to minor league camp Sunday: catcher Dalton Rushing, infielders Andre Lipcius, Trey Sweeney and Austin Gauthier, outfielders Jose Ramos, Ryan Ward and Drew Avans, and pitchers Matt Gage, Elieser Hernández and Kevin Gowdy. The Dodgers have 38 players left in major league camp .
