RandolphScott Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Following tonight’s game, Omar Minaya announced the Mets have acquired OF Trot Nixon from the Diamondbacks for cash or a player to be named later. Nixon was batting .309 with a .437 OBP, 15 2B, 10 HR and 31 RBI in 181 at-bats for the D-backs Triple-A Tucson affiliate. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LorfTVP Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Couldn't have a better guy on the team. I know he's older, and that's been a problem in recent years, but he's an intelligent outfielder, a left handed bat (with a lot of pine tar), and has an attitude which, word is, is needed in the Met's clubhouse. Unfortunately, he's a bit slower on the basepaths now and in his last year with the Sox was a notorious singles hitter. 70 of his 102 hits were singles in 2006. 24 doubles, 8 HRs. Even still, he's a productive player and brings a good dose of the south to the Mets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxi-xxv Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 This is the move that will CLEARLY put the Mets over the top. No way they do not finish .500 now with Trot in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
