Xavier Nady?

[JohnBriggs12]

With the Brewer bench exclusively LH, and Braun facing a possible suspension, it appears there's room for another RH bat, especially if Aoki is not signed.

 

I haven't read a word about Nady, who is a FA, all winter but he certainly fits the mold of guys Melvin has picked up in the past. He can play either corner OF spot and is a platoon possibility with Gamel at 1B.

 

Boras is his agent and with K-Rod signing for less than anticipated, is it possible he's negotiating a deal for Nady with Melvin?

I have been a fan of his in the past, but a quick look at his stats would suggest that he's near the end of the line- it appears that he had a major injury a few years back, and hasn't been the same since. On that same token, I'm sure that he wouldn't be a favorite of many here because he doesn't like to take the walk. I wouldn't have a problem throwing him an NRI though.

If we sign Aoki, I don't see a match for Nady unless we planned on trading Morgan when Braun returned from his suspension. Plus we signed Conrad who might be a better option than Nady at this point in his career.

Xavier Nady vs RHP - .290/.358/.446/.804

Brooks Conrad vs RHP - .268/.358/.465/.823

Conrad's a 32 year old career minor leaguer with only 332 major league AB's so I wouldn't consider his numbers to worth comparing on sample size alone.. Nady did have a serious injury (shoulder I believe) a few years ago and that pretty much relegated him to a bench player, but I would consider him to be a much better option than Conrad. It's possible they consider Conrad to be viable in RH pinch hitter backup role though I'd prefer a veteran like Nady myself.

[Hate those Rodents]

Nady is far too gritty of a battler for my liking.

I'm sensing sarcasm. I like Hawpe more though. But, with the Aoki signing, maybe they're done with the outfield.

With mentions of both Nady and Keppinger tonight, it's good to see some of you check out Ramblings on occasion.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I visit your site quite often to be honest but I get most of my info from the FA list on MLBTR. I'm a big nerd like you when it comes to the Crew and find filling our roster 1-25 fascinating. There's not many guys like us who care enough to research about middle relievers, loogys and platoon options lol
