Cowley Stirring Things Up: Nix to Replace Ramirez?
It is probably not a coincidence that Jayson Nix has been playing shortstop for both Class AA Birmingham and now Class AAA Charlotte on his current rehab assignment, especially considering the struggles Ramirez is having offensively for the White Sox.
Nix is out of minor-league options, so when he's declared healthy, he's either on the 25-man roster or would have to get through waivers.
Here's a very logical scenario if Ramirez snaps out of it or not: The Sox call Nix up and either send Jerry Owens down because Brent Lillibridge can also play center field or possibly even send Ramirez down so he can get right.
That means Nix would play shortstop.

I have a hard time believing they would send Ramirez down that quickly
Of course I didn’t think Adam Eaton would destroy the Sox either….

Would they send him down to be with Dayan?
Maybe they would help each other. Both look/sound lost.

other than hypothetical
do we really know Lillibridge is capable of playing CF? I hear it a lot, and I cant remember if its a “he’s athletic and owns an outfield glove” sort of thing, or if he’s legit.
If he’s serviceable there, then I’d rather see what Nix can do with the big club (maybe something?), rather than see what Owens can do (not much at all).
If the choice is try to sneak Nix through waivers or send Alexei down, I believe they’d choose the former. Alexei looks bad, but its only been two weeks.

i cant see that Nix has a use then
We have so many damn “utility” guys. And then they go acquire an Andy Phillips.

nix was DFAed not once but twice last year.
i’m not that worried about him getting claimed. he adds nice minor league depth, nothing more.

You are NOT good at brainstorming.
Let’s examine all the possibilities…
Well, yeah, it’s a dumb idea.
