Newsbreakers

December 18, 2009

Laynce Nix has signed a minor league contract with the Cincinnati Reds.

Our View:

Not surprising after he hit 15 home runs in 116 major league games last season. Though his deal is a minor league one, expect him to spend a great deal of time in the majors for the ever-rebuilding Reds.

December 13, 2009

Laynce Nix is close to re-signing with the Reds, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Our View:

He was out-righted by the club last month, but apparently found nothing to his liking on the free agent market. in 116 games with the Reds last season, he hit 15 home runs while batting .239.

November 20, 2009

Laynce Nix has refused to be out-righted to Triple-A, and is now a free agent, according to Mark Sheldon of MLB.com.

Our View:

Nix showed some decent power for the Reds last season, clubbing 15 home runs in 309 at-bats. Despite a lifetime .236 average, he should find a place on someone's bench for 2010.

September 30, 2009

Laynce Nix hit a grand slam off of John Smoltz on Wednesday night, making life easy for Bronson Arroyo and the Reds, as they cruised to a 6-1 victory over the Cardinals.

Our View:

Nix now has 15 home runs and 46 RBI in 114 games this season. Solid numbers, but maybe not enough to secure himself a spot in the Reds' 2010 outfield.

September 26, 2009

Laynce Nix only had one hit on Saturday, but it was a big one. His 14th homer put the Reds ahead in the second inning and they never looked back. He finished the day 1-for-2, with three RBI and two runs scored in the 10-4 drubbing of the Astros.

Our View:

Nix's home run on Saturday is his only hit in 17 at-bats since returning from the DL on September 15th. Today's effort may have earned him some more playing time.

September 15, 2009

Laynce Nix (neck) has been activated from the 15-day disabled list.

Our View:

The left-fielder is in the Reds lineup tonight against the Astros and batting seventh. In 106 games this season, Nix is batting .251 with 13 home runs and 37 RBI.

August 31, 2009

Updating an earlier report, Laynce Nix (neck/shoulder) has been placed on the 15-day DL by the Reds, according to TSN.

Our View:

Nix hit 13 homers this season, but serves in a platoon role, and fantasy owners should manage fine while he is on the shelf.

August 31, 2009

Laynce Nix was a late scratch from the Reds' lineup on Monday due to soreness in his neck, according to the Twitter page of beat writer Mark Sheldon. He will be replaced by Jonny Gomes in right field.

Our View:

Nix was supposed to play today, but the neck issue that he has been dealing with for the last few weeks flared up on him. It doesn't look like the injury will force him to the DL, but it will probably be a day-to-day kind of thing.

August 28, 2009

Laynce Nix is out of the team's lineup on Friday with a sore neck, according to MLBlogs.com.

Our View:

Nix has battled a sore neck for much of the past few weeks. Obviously, the injury has not sent him to the disabled list, but he should be expected to periodically miss games with the injury.

August 25, 2009

Laynce Nix homered twice, including one in the top of the 12th inning, in the Reds' 8-6 win over the Brewers on Tuesday. Nix scored twice and drove in three in the win.

Our View:

Nix has been hot this month, and he is showing off a very solid power stroke as of late. He now has 12 homers on the season, and he is worth a look for fantasy owners in NL-onl leagues.

August 20, 2009

Laynce Nix went 3-for-4 with a home run in the Reds' 2-1, ten-inning walk-off winner against the Giants on Thursday.

Our View:

With his 6th inning blast off Matt Cain, Nix reached double digits in home runs for just the second time in his career. His .317 average in August proves that he may be a worthwhile addition in NL-only leagues down the stretch.

August 11, 2009

Laynce Nix went 2-for-4 with two RBI on Tuesday, helping the Reds win 5-4 in St. Louis.

Our View:

Batting just .240, however, his value is limited to NL-only formats.

July 24, 2009

Laynce Nix's balky back acted up again on Friday, and he was replaced in the Reds lineup by Jonny Gomes, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Our View:

With Jay Bruce's injury, Nix has been given a huge opportunity for playing time, but has been plagued by his back. Assuming he can stay in the lineup, he has decent power, and has driven in 24 runs, making him a decent choice in deeper NL-only leagues.

July 19, 2009

Laynce Nix has a stiff back and may not be able to play today, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. He is not in the starting lineup.

Our View:

Nix has shown decent power in 2009, and is guaranteed a lot of playing time with Jay Bruce out, but isn't much of an option outside of NL-only formats.

July 8, 2009

Laynce Nix was 1-for-4 with with one of only two Reds RBIs on Wednesday, as Cincinnati fell 3-2 in Philadelphia.

Our View:

Nix has a decent amount of power, but doesn't produce enough to warrant serious consideration in any format.

June 16, 2009

Laynce Nix carried the Reds in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Braves at the Great American Ballpark, as he went 3-for-5 with three RBI. He had two doubles and a single.

Our View:

Nix was in need of a solid performance, as he only mustered one hit over his previous 14 at-bats. He ended an eight-game skid with any RBI as well, and is not consistent enough to employ outside of NL-only leagues.

June 7, 2009

Laynce Nix went 3-for-6 in the Reds' 6-3, 14-inning loss to the Cubs on Sunday.

Our View:

Nix has been smoking the ball lately and has three homers, eight RBI and an average above .300 for the month of June. His recent fine play has earned him more at-bats and some fantasy consideration.

June 4, 2009

Laynce Nix went 1-for-3 with a solo homer off Chris Carpenter, and recorded the Reds' lone RBI in Thursday's 3-1 loss at Busch Stadium.

Our View:

Nix has now hit a home run in back-to-back games, with three homers over the span. He has seven homers for the season, making him a nice source for power in deeper fantasy leagues.

June 3, 2009

Laynce Nix was 2-for-4 with two home runs, four RBI and two runs scored as the Reds defeated the Cardinals 9-3 on Wednesday.

Our View:

Nix had five hits and seven RBI during his three games in St. Louis this week. However, he's probably still not worth owning in most formats as his impressive week brings him to just six home runs and 17 RBI on the season.

June 1, 2009

Laynce Nix went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's 5-3 win at St. Louis. He hit a single and a double.

Our View:

Nix was in need of a solid outing, as he was hitless over his previous three games. He is seeing enough action to be useful for NL-only leagues.

May 8, 2009

Laynce Nix replaced Chris Dickerson in left field for Thursday's game, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Skipper Dusty Baker said, "I talked to Dickerson. I said, 'Hey man, you have got to go back to work. Nix is going good right now.' It is about winning ballgames. I am not saying it is all his fault, but Nix is doing his thing."

Our View:

Dickerson has been struggling, and Nix holds a solid .351 average over 37 at-bats. Dickerson should be held out of fantasy lineups until further notice, and Nix is worth a look for NL-only leagues.

April 29, 2009

Laynce Nix got the starting nod on Wednesday as the Reds beat the Astros 3-0. He went 2-for-3 with a triple, an RBI, and a run scored.

Our View:

Nix has recorded an extra base hit in each of his last three games. He is still a platoon player, which completely limits his fantasy value.

April 18, 2009

Laynce Nix was the man most victimized by Wandy Rodriguez's impressive performance on Saturday. He was 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in the Astros 7-0 win over the Reds.

Our View:

Nix is a platoon player and only got the start tonight because Jay Bruce is out with an injured hand. He holds no real fantasy value.

April 7, 2009

The Reds have purchased Laynce Nix's contract from Triple-A, according to TSN.

Our View:

Nix does not merit fantasy consideration while fighting for playing time as a reserve outfielder with Cincinnati. He holds a career .235 batting average.

March 20, 2009

Laynce Nix went 2-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's 4-2 loss to Houston. Both of his knocks were singles.

Our View:

He raised his spring batting average to .267. Nix is not expected to hold much fantasy value if he manages to make the Reds' opening day roster as a reserve outfielder.

March 11, 2009

Laynce Nix went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and a stolen base Wednesday.

Our View:

This was a fine all around game for Nix, but he's still only hitting .250 this spring and even if he cracks the Reds roster he'll most likey be a utilty player.

March 2, 2009

Laynce Nix went 2-for-2 with a double in the Reds' loss to the Pirates Monday.

Our View:

The oft-injured Nix will need more days like this if he's going to make the club out of Spring Training.
