The Chicago White Sox sign 2B Jayson Nix
The White Sox have signed 26-year old righty swinging 2B Jayson Nix to a 1-year deal. Nix played in 22 games for the Rockies last season and he was 7 for 56 (.125 avg, .395 OPS) with 2 runs scored, 2 RBIs and a stolen base. But, Nix was very solid in AAA as he played in 67 games in which he was 80 for 264 (.303 avg, .964 OPS) with 63 runs scored, 17 homers, 51 RBIs and 11 stolen bases. It will be interesting to see if Nix can hit American League Pitching better than he did in the N.L. Still, this was a same gamble by the White Sox as Nix has some upside.
