Don't the White Sox already have a former Rockie at 2B?PHILADELPHIA — Jayson Nix is changing Sox in attempt to rejuvenate his career.
The Rockies' opening day second baseman has agreed to a deal with the Chicago White Sox, according to contract details received by The Denver Post.
With Kazuo Matsui lost as a free agent to the Houston Astros, Nix won the position in spring training, edging out Clint Barmes and Marcus Giles. Nix, however, got off to a slow start offensively and was designated for assignment at the end of April.
He rebounded in Triple-A and was eventually chosen for Team USA in the Beijing Olympics. He was injured in China, hit in the left eye on a bunt attempt against Cuba.
Nix, 26, was the 44th overall selection in the 2001 draft. Nix will make $400,000 if on the White Sox's major league roster.

Bah
Good riddance. His AAA numbers were inflated for altitude anyhow. He’s not a major league batter by any stretch of the imagination.

Back in July, I answered a
question for a Mets blog and mentioned Jayson Nix wasn’t a major-league hitter. A guy responded that I was wrong. All the available evidence seems to suggest I’m right.
Jayson can’t hit in the majors and Laynce can’t stick in the majors, so it seems as if the family just can’t be major leaguers.

agreed
Nix is just another AAAA player with a weirdly spelled first name.

Too bad he couldn't work it out with the home organization
I’m sure he’s a good guy and I wish him all the best in the Windy City, but I won’t miss his hitting skills, or lack thereof.
Blast and botheration.
