	Xavier Nady - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Xavier Clifford Nady (born November 14, 1978 in Carmel, California) is a Major League Baseball outfielder with the New York Mets.
		Louis Cardinals originally drafted Nady in the 4th round of the 1997 MLB Draft (134th overall) after he was named Northern California Player of the Year in his senior year of high school but he did not sign professionally at that time.
		Nady signed a major league contract and became the 19th player to go directly to the major leagues without making his professional debut in the minor leagues since 1965.

		Nady had the distinction of being the first major leaguer with a name beginning with an X to hit a home run, when, as a rookie with the San Diego Padres, on April 2, 2003, he clobbered a pitch from San Francisco's Damian Moss.
		Nady grew up in Salinas, Calif. — the lettuce capital of the world — and starred at the University of California, Berkeley, before he was drafted by San Diego in 2000.
		Nady was dining with his former teammate Brian Lawrence in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, when he saw his name and Mike Cameron's scroll across the bottom of a television screen announcing his trade to the Mets.

	ESPN.com: MLB - Padres outfielder Xavier Nady

		Nady's Triple-A numbers in 2002 were mediocre when league context is factored in, but injuries were probably a part of that.
		Nady is off to a hot start, hitting two homers and two doubles in his first seven games with the Padres.

		For Cal third baseman Xavier Nady the results seemed to be somewhere in the gray area, in between pure excitement and utter disappointment.
		Nady was scooped up by the San Diego Padres as the 49th pick in the second round, just five picks behind fellow Bears teammate Mike Tonis, who has signed with the Kansas City Royals.
		Nady, who was expected to sign earlier this week, seems to be pushing the deadline to either sign with the Padres or reject their offer and return to Cal for his senior season.

	Xavier Nady - Fantasy Baseball Cafe 2006
		By increasing Nady's versatility, the Padres hope to maximize his number of plate appearances, thus allowing him to reach the hitting potential that made him a two-time All-American for the Golden Bears and the MVP of the California League in 2001.
		Nady has run out of minor-league options, which means the Padres can't send him down without the risk ---- more like a certainty with a player as talented as Nady ---- of losing him through waivers.
		Magadan recommended that Nady lower his hands in his batting stance to make his swing more compact, and he's also encouraging his pupil to slow his tempo in the box to avoid a problematic high leg kick.

	Xavier Nady - Fantasy Baseball Cafe 2003
		Prior to last season, Nady was forced to undergo off-season elbow surgery, yet missed practically no time; it’s reasonable to assume that this was a major cause of his pedestrian play.
		Don’t expect Nady to keep up his current pace, and expect him to need some time to adjust to the major league level of play.
		Nonetheless, if you have a spot on your keeper roster and the Baldellis and Teixeiras of the league have been snatched up already, Xavier Nady looks like a solid prospect who may be capable of giving you.310, 35-hr seasons down the road.

		This year, both Nady and Blum have teamed up and with a lineup decimated by injuries, are finally getting the time to show why they were so highly touted by former Cal coaching legend Bob Milano.
		Nady, with only 184 plate appearances this season, is second on the team with 11 home runs.
		However, Nady says he knows that this year is a continuation process of the learning and growing experience and notes the reason why the club is winning is because of the team's bench.

		As a result, Nady could either ride the pine with the big club, occasionally spelling one of the starters, or he could return to Triple-A Portland and work out the kinks in his game.
		Nady and veteran Brian Buchanan will contend for the final position during the spring, but it makes little sense to keep a still-developing prospect as a utility guy at the expense of necessary playing time.
		Nady's future may be bright, but even he acknowledges that the future probably isn't now.

		But both Towers and manager Bruce Bochy also said it wouldn't be stunning to see Nady, the franchise's top outfield prospect, batting sixth and playing left field on March 31 when the team opens its season against the Giants.
		Nady turned in a good game yesterday, nailing a runner at the plate and driving two singles in a 5-2 loss to a Cubs split squad at Peoria Stadium.
		Bochy started Nady in left field yesterday, and Nady, who'd been playing right field, nabbed a baserunner for the second game in a row.

	A Large Regular
		If the Cameron for Nady trade is true - then my hat is off to Omar Minaya.
		Nady can play all three outfield position and play first.
		He hits lefties very well, which probably means a platoon with Victor Diaz in right field and he can spell Cliff Floyd's knees as a late inning defensive replacement.

		Minaya said last night that he imagined Nady would be a fixture in the Mets' lineup for years, at one point mentioning him in the same breath as the team's nucleus of José Reyes, David Wright and Beltran.
		Nady, who turned 27 on Monday, can play third base, first base and right field, and his flexibility is attractive to Minaya as he tinkers with the roster in the off-season.
		Nady hit 13 home runs last season in 324 at-bats, but Minaya said he expected Nady to evolve into more of a power threat.
