Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports that manager Clint Hurdle has named prospect Jayson Nix as starting second baseman. Nix is batting .300 this spring and beat out veteran Marcus Giles for the job. While he has hit pretty well this spring, it is his glove that earned him this promotion. Unless your fantasy league rewards for defense or you’re in a deep NL-only league, don’t expect much from Nix.
