The Dodgers seemed like a candidate to go over slot at 20 if the right guy fell, but apparently the right guy did not fall, and they took Wisconsin prep shortstop Gavin Lux (1) with their first pick. Lux is one of the few true shortstops in this draft, and he's an above-average runner with arm strength and very high aptitude across the board, although I think his swing needs some retooling if he's going to hit velocity with a wood bat. … Will Smith (1A) was one of the biggest risers among the college ranks this spring, combining solid defense and great offensive performance for Louisville and projecting as a possible regular behind the dish, perhaps somewhat similar to current Dodger Austin Barnes. … Jordan Sheffield (1A) was Vanderbilt's Friday night starter this season, but he finished the season poorly, showing great stuff but not command, and I think he has to go to the bullpen as a 6-foot right-hander with an electric arm but limited command and no plane or sink on the fastball.

Mitchell White (2) at Santa Clara was a pop-up college arm this spring, mostly a velocity play who has had some injuries in the past but picked up speed as the spring went on and was sitting 94-95 by the end of the season. … Texas prep right-hander Dustin May (3) looks a lot like Jacob deGrom on the mound, and he's athletic like deGrom and projectable at 6-foot-6 and 180 pounds. He has some present velocity and a hard slider but a rough delivery that either needs to be cleaned up or used in relief. … DJ Peters (4) is a physical outfielder from Western Nevada College who is a plus runner and looks built for power. His swing can get long, and he played most of his games this year for WNC in great offensive environments. … Devin Smeltzer (5) is a real slinging lefty who's 86-90 and probably ends up as a specialist. … Errol Robinson (6) was talked up as a potential first-rounder coming into the spring but did not hit well or field well -- or really do anything well -- and that's how you end up in the sixth round and not the first.
 
Here's to hoping Urias gets em today. 2 out of 3 would be nice, but a sweep would've done so much more in the standings. Regardless, it's remarkable that the boys are in striking distance with so many injuries beginning the season and a lineup that should be on milk cartons because it's been missing....
 
I'm tired of Ellis, dude is pretty much an auto-out at this point. If Kersh wants to keep his boy around, Dodgers need to make him like a catching coach and let Barnes squat back there. Grandal's numbers could be injury-related. Ellis is just...Ellis....
 
Pitchers doing their job, good chance for the boys to come back with A Gon leading off...
 
What's the more enticing panic move? Prospect package (Seager=untouchable) for Trout, Harper, or "Other"? This lineup is straight basura !!!
 
At this point, I'll take juicehead Braun. But I think FO has been adamant about keeping the young guys.

I'd trade Puig for any help though. SP, RP, or a bat with pop.
 
I can't root for Braun, it's not even just the juicing. The adamant denial while throwing the tester under the bus and essentially winning an MVP award that should've been Kemp's. Can't do it.
 
No point in trading Puig at this point.

Despite the loss yesterday, major win.

Carl Crawford is officially no longer a Dodger, :smokin

This team needs some offense in the worst way, and it's only going to come when Gonzales and Puig snap out of it.
