In 2003, his rookie year, he hit .267 with 9 home runs and 39 RBI. Nady played for the San Diego Padres, Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Mets over the course of his 4 year career.
Most people believe that Xavier Nady's best season was 2006, when he slugged 17 home runs, hit for a .280 average and knocked in 63 runs.
Scouting Report[]
Nady is a great mistake hitter—if you hang a curve ball or if he's looking dead-red and you throw the heat down the pipe (how's that for a mixed metaphor!), forget it, 3 run homer. But... you'll lock him up on a breaking ball if he's thinking change up, and he'll chase the high strike, etc. etc. Lefties eat him up. Defensively he's a mess, too.
He's probably best used in a platoon, either in a corner OF position or if need be, at 1B. With a RHP starting, stick him in RF and take him out in the late innings for a left-handed hitting defensive replacement. With a LHP starting, he's a solid RH option off the bench.
