From Rotoworld:
Quote:
Rockies second second baseman Jayson Nix outright to Triple-A Colorado Springs.
Nix, who lost his starting job after hitting just .111/.216/.133 in 45 at-bats, will try to get his swing figured out. He could return to the majors later if the team can't solve its troubles at second base, but he's not going to be a long-term solution.

And Herrera up, too -- that one's probably a short-term attempt to catch lightning in a bottle -- he'll be back down as soon as he cools off. Q, unsurprisingly, also up.
Notice how no other team "pounced" on Nix? Could it be that he HAS ABSOLUTELY NO VALUE WHATSOEVER? And that's the guy O'Dowd had to give the 2B job because he couldn't stand losing him on waivers ...
By the way, I had a look at de la Rosa's splits, and that confirms my "LOOGY in the making" theory. I still wouldn't have traded Ramirez for him, but I'm weirdly confident about him making a decent contribution. Nothing exciting... Affeldt-like, as I said ...
