The X Man Cometh

That miscast, broken-faced outfielder Mike Cameron 44 would be traded was fairly predictable; receiving reserve Padres 1B/OF Xavier Nady in return
was the surprise. Nady, who smacks lefties around pretty well and can
fake it at several positions, looks to be a useful pickup but it’s sad
the Mets never fully exploited Cameron’s ability as a center fielder nor
as a trade chip. Nady by the way wore No. 22 with the Padres. That
number most recently belonged to reliever Royce Ring.
