Guess who's #1 in NL with 34 RBIs right now?
A: The x-man, xavier nady. He's also got the 5th best BA in NL.
Pretty surprising, considering how bad the pirates are.
All advice and opinion offered in this blog should be followed to the letter by Alderman, Collins, and all uniformed members of the Mets.

That guy sucks, though ;)
Speaking of another statement I may have to eat, Carlos Gomez just became the first Twin to hit for the cycle in 22 years.
Perhaps I underestimated his greatness a bit prematurely??
Greatness? Just like the immortal Alex Ochoa?
I believe the two names you're looking for are Gregg Jefferies and Jay Payton (he of the 5-tool all-star notoriety).
Ochoa actually cycled, though...and Payton has turned himself into a serviceable player.
Just for the record, I thought X-Man was fine during his Met tenure, but I wasn't a big fan or anything. I thought the Hernandez/Perez deal made perfect sense at the time.
It does seem like Xavier's off to something of a breakout year so far, though.
I was not a huge fan of xavier's as you know, for the simple reason that his splits at the time were horrible. He had a solid BA and HRs when there was no one on base and 0 outs, but when we needed him to be clutch his numbers were atrocious. I think at one point he was like 1 for 20 with RISP. Certainly his numbers this year, if they hold up, would be welcome on almost any team.
