Xavier Nady?

[billyhallfan]

I want Nady, he could be a great player for right, and is clearly attainable, the Bucs want to move him, a lot of sources have said that, I don't know what it would take, but I would love to have him. He has had an .OPS over .800 the last two years, and a pretty good .OBP, any thoughts?

Id love him as a bench player. He is probably good enough to start on this team as it stands now, but I think he would be an ideal player as a 4th OF on a World Series team.

i guess i think he is better than the bench, his defense is solid too, now I know errors are missleading sometimes, but he only had one error last season.

I'd totally look at him as a starter.

- His splits vs. righties aren't too bad, so there's no platoon concern there.

- He can play all 3 OF positions, so there's flexibility should the Brewers acquire a bigger corner OF bat for a playoff run

- His OPS away from spacious PNC was .833 last year

- He's relatively cheap

- With rumors circling that the Bucs were close to non-tendering him, I don't think the asking price could be too high (maybe Bush, Vargas, or something along those lines)

 

Doug, you have my blessing http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Nady can also play first base. he played 35 games at first in 2006. This would prove ideal in interleague games allowing prince to be a dh. I like Nady.

as a 4th outfielder, I'd say yes, as a starter, I say no...

[billyhallfan]

do you mind giving a reason rickey?

[TURBO]

I know next to nothing about him other than regards to fantasy.

 

Hart, Hall/Braun and Nady?

 

I wouldn't be totally against it, but I think we can do a lot better...

[TooLiveBrew]

I agree with that last line. Nady is a fine fallback option, should nothing else pan out - especially if the Bucs value him so lowly.
