Part 4/7:
The debate continues on whether trading Lux would create more problems than it solves. The notion arises that while trading him might address bullpen deficiencies, it could leave them vulnerable at second base. Stark maintains that Lux may not be a "needle mover" but is a competent player who can contribute meaningfully to the lineup.
However, the possibility exists that Lux's performance could be matched or replaced by other players on the roster. Chris Taylor and Kik Hernanandez have struggled offensively as of late, with their recent seasons reflecting significant downturns in performance compared to Lux, who ended the season with a league-average offensive output.
