A lack of third base depth in the minors has forced the Phillies to sign noted space-filler Jayson Nix.
The Phillies recently promoted Maikel Franco to play third base for their big league team, something you have to know if you bothered to come to this web site. Who is behind Franco at third base, though, to replace him on the IronPigs?
Well, there's Cody Asche, but he's not a third baseman anymore. Those days are over. It'd be surprising if Cody Asche could even find third base in an infield anymore.
