Can someone, anyone, explain to me why Jayson Nix, a guy whose lifetime average is just BARELY above the Mendoza line, is the best option to back up at 3rd base? Or anywhere for that matter? That seems pretty pathetic…
He’s not the backup third baseman. He’s the backup backup backup third baseman.
He does have a career .742 OPS against lefties in his career at the big league level. Not great, but that’s serviceable. It’s not like the Yankees have a ton of options here.
Uh. Because he’s the 3rd string 3rd baseman and 2nd sting utlity guy, and their other option consists of Brandon Laird, who they may prefer to give regular playing time.
Where’s the beef?
The way we’re going right now, he probably would get regular playing time…
agreed
The fact that they don’t have the next Evan Longoria available as an injury replacement means Cashman should be fired immediately.
I was sort of hoping for Brandon Laird, but I guess calling Nix up will get the job done.
he may be the backup backup backup third baseman but he’s playing left field tonight. girardi is officially insane
Who was he supposed to start in left, Ibanez? Nunez? Nix is the third best outfielder on the roster right now.
Speaking of that lineup, Tex is batting 3rd. Yikes, maybe their second worst hitting starter all season suddenly moved up in the lineup. Terrific.
Yikes… Mo just carted off the fielded shagging flyballs in BP (and apparently hitting the wall)
field
un-fucking real
Link?
Nevermind.
