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.

Everytime I see Lance

I think… Linebacker.

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

Featured Poll

Poll
Who is the Brewers' top prospect?
  • Brett Lawrie - Cana-DUH!
  • Mat Gamel - A great pure hitter who could potentially play a position of need.
  • Alcides Escobar - The Brewers sorely need his defensive wizardry and contact-hitting approach. He also solves the 3B hole by shifting J.J. over.
  • Jonathan Lucroy - The best catching prospect in the system by virtue of the fact that he can actually catch. His hitting numbers at Brevard are very good on the face of it, but even better after accounting for Space Coast Stadium.
  • Angel Salome - He's leading a Huntsville team that's loaded with prospects in all three slash stats, and he has the tools to be a good defensive catcher.
  • Jeremy Jeffress - The only real pitching prospect in a sea of hitters, Jeffress could potentially ease the pain of losing two aces by blossoming into one himself.
  • Carlos George - Hey, Derek Jeter can't play defense either.
