I'd say Nix has the inside track on getting punted before Encarnacion but I think it'll be close between them. Nix plays hard and has my respect at least relative to E5 but I don't think I've seen a worse batter play everyday for the Jays ever even if only for a short stretch. I remember thinking Manny Lee was bad during the first year I ever watched the Jays and looking back he was 60 points better.
Is it just me or does Nix look like he uses a mini bat or has super short arms? He looks like an oompa loompa on outside strikes.
Snider is hitting again with a 16/26 streak going on right now in AAA - having him and Lawrie replace those two in the next two weeks would be amazing.
Apparently McGowan is really looking good right now too in the further good news category. Threw 2.0 scoreless innings at extended spring a couple days ago hitting 94.
