LAYNCE NIX RUMORS & GOSSIP
Laynce Nix: Where Does the Philadelphia Phillies Outfielder Fit Into the Team’s Plans for the Future?
The Philadelphia Phillies haven’t made much of an attempt to replace Raul Ibanez in left field, so it seems likely the team will be going with a platoon of Laynce Nix and John Mayberry, Jr in 2012.

Laynce Nix Back

While Nix hits for a low average, strikes out too much, and doesn’t get on base enough, he is however an excellent defensive OF in LF, RF, or CF, he has very good power, and is a good PH. Most cringe...
