Xady Watch - Remember Who!

Faithful B&E readers will remember Xavier Nady or "Who," whom the Mets traded in a panic last season. Poor Who, who had carried the Mets' offense during a couple of small slumps for the potent lineup, went from playing for the first-place Mets to the last-place Pirates.

Who, who remains in Pittsburgh this season, has been instrumental to the Pirates' early success. For the first time since 1802 (I think), the Pirates got themselves off to a 3-0 start, and in two of those games our old friend Who, in whom the manager has great faith, hit home runs.

Who, whose career batting average hovers around .267, is batting .267 so far this season. But those two homers deserve some love here at B&E. And while Xady Watch will certainly not be a regular feature any longer (after all, I heart the Mets), Who, whom I remember fondly, will remain on the radar.

And wouldn't it be just grand if Who, who plays in the weak National League Central Division, led the small-market Pirates to the post-season? I mean, OK, we're just four games into the season, and the Pirates have now lost a game, but a large-market fan can dream, no?

Who can lead better than Who? If not Who, whom?
