Xady Watch - Frozen Assets
Once again, B&E reprises the old Xady Watch feature, because Xavier "Who?" Nady is in the news again. Unfortunately for Who, the news isn't baseball-related.Who and fellow Yankee Johnny Damon had indirect investments with the Stanford Group. Allen Stanford is another billionaire financier accused of fraud (TPMMuckraker has fine coverage if you're interested). Who and Damon currently have their assets frozen.
Damon will pull down $13 million this year, and Who will be making just over half that amount. So it's not like they're going to be destitute or anything, but Who is trying to buy a damned New York City apartment at the moment, and good luck getting through a co-op board when you don't even have use of your credit cards.
Co-op Board Member: So tell the co-op board a little about yourself.
Xady: I'm Xavier Nady, outfielder for the New York Yankees.
Co-op Board Member: I'm sorry, Who?
Good luck with the frozen assets and apartment hunt, Who. We're all pulling for you.

From the ever accurate Wikipedia...
Professional career
[edit] San Diego Padres
In late June 2005, Nady became the first Padre since Greg Vaughn (in 1998) to homer in four consecutive games.
[edit] New York Mets
The Padres traded him to the New York Mets for Mike Cameron on November 18, 2005.
On Mother's Day, May 14, 2006, Nady was one of more than 50 hitters who brandished a pink bat to benefit the Breast Cancer Foundation. Nady underwent an emergency appendectomy early in the morning on May 30, 2006; he was placed on the 15-day disabled list, and returned to the lineup on June 18.
[edit] Pittsburgh Pirates
On July 30, 2006, Mets set-up relief pitcher Duaner Sanchez was injured when the cab in which he was a passenger was broadsided. The Mets' pitching corps was already depleted with star hurler Pedro Martinez on the disabled list. Desperate for pitching, the Mets felt that a trade was imperative and were forced to give up Nady, their starting right fielder, to the Pirates in exchange for pitchers Óliver Pérez and Roberto Hernandez. While he was a Met for a relatively short time, Nady had performed well and quickly become a fan favorite at Shea Stadium. The trade shocked several fans who thought Nady had been a valuable part of the team, slugging 14 HR (7 of them tying the game or giving the Mets the lead) and driving in 40 runs in only 75 games. The deal came as such a surprise to certain fans that a band known only as "Kuff and the Buttheads" penned a song "The Ballad of X," a chronicle of his time with the Mets, which garnered mild publicity in baseball blogs, and Internet forums.[2]
He can be seen hitting a home run as a Met on TV in the background of the movie I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Coincidentally, it was against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the same year he was traded to them.
[edit] New York Yankees
On July 26, 2008, the New York Yankees acquired Nady and pitcher Dámaso Marté from the Pittsburgh Pirates for Jose Tabata, Ross Ohlendorf, Dan McCutchen, and Jeff Karstens.[3]
Nady had a career high 6 RBI as the Yankees came back to beat the Los Angeles Angels on August 3, 2008.
Nady signed a one-year deal worth $6.65 million with the Yankees avoiding arbitration. Nady is eligible to be a free agent at the end of the 2009 season.
