PHILS STRIKE DEAL WITH LAYNCE NIX.
The Phillies are coming close to finalizing their roster for 2012 with the signing of Laynce Nix. Nix had a .750 OPS with 16 homeruns in 351 plate appearances for the Nationals.
Nix played both corner outfield positions and 9 games at first base.
The Phillies have signed Thome, Wigginton, Schneider and Nix and have one position on the bench to fill, likely Wilson Valdez.
Starting shortstop is still open and the return of Rollins is still unknown.
There are likely three stops in the bullpen open.
Winter meetings begin tomorrow. Ruben is on a roll.
