Laynce Nix

has an ERA?

"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"

Nix = Kieschnick!

Awesome, Laynce Nix is the new Brooks Kieschnick.

I have seen the coming of the Lord. Savior, thy name is Gallardo.

That is a good call

Seeing as he is never going to make the team any other way apparently. While on I’m that note, every time I see his minor league line it looks excellent, but every time I’ve seen him in late season call-ups he looks like a fish out of water. Maybe I’m just seeing things through my obtuse perspective, but I wonder if he will ever become anything more than a great career minor leaguer.

"He's been very, very impressive," Yost said. "I mean really impressive. I mean really, really impressive."

Nope

He’s a good 4th to 5th outfielder, mainly because he can play center. I don’t think he has the on-base skills (or the ability to hit for a high enough BA to compensate, he strikes out too much) to be any better than that.

Not quite

From seeing him, I think he has too many holes in his swing to be a regular, but he could be a decent 4th OF.

Luis

You’ve got to step it up
