Rockies free Nix to play in Olympics

Infielder designated; must be in Minors to qualify for Games



DENVER -- The country, or at least its baseball team, needs infielder Jayson
Nix more than the Rockies.

The Rockies designated Nix for assignment Saturday after Team USA asked if
the club would make him available for the Olympics in Beijing.

Nix, who is out of Minor League options and has to be exposed to other teams
through waivers in order to be sent to Triple-A Colorado Springs, must be on
a Minor League roster by Monday to be eligible for the Games.

It was with Team USA that Nix has had his highest baseball moment. In the
2007 International Baseball Federation World Cup in Taipei City, Taiwan, Nix
went 12-for-31 with six extra-base hits to lead the U.S. to the gold medal
and the earn tournament's most valuable player honors.

Nix, 25, began the year as the Rockies' starting second baseman, but he hit
.125 (7-for-56) in two stints with the big club. The Rockies called up third
baseman Ian Stewart in his place.

All that would stand between Nix and Team USA would be another club claiming
him and placing him on its Major League roster.

Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said USA Baseball officials talked with Rockies
assistant general manager Bill Geivett about acquiring Nix's services.

"If he gets through [waivers] and has the opportunity to play in the
Olympics, I think that adds tremendous value to somebody's career," Hurdle
said.

Nix, the Rockies top pick (44th overall) in 2001, would give the Rockies'
system three players on Team USA. Center-field prospect Dexter Fowler and
right-handed reliever Casey Weathers, the club's top choice in 2007, also
have been chosen.


這位Jayson Nix去年有來台灣打世界杯棒球賽
以0.387的打擊率 2支全壘打 6分打點獲選MVP
是洛磯開季的先發二壘手  但因打擊太差被下放
