The Giants have signed 33-year old righty swinging 1B/OF Xavier Nady to a minor league deal. Nady played in 40 games for the Nationals earlier this year and he was 16 for 102 (.157 avg, .486 OPS) with 6 runs scored, 3 homers, 6 RBIs and 1 stolen base. He has now played in 920 games in his first 11 years in the majors and he was 780 of 2,882 (.271 avg, .756 OPS) with 355 runs scored, 100 homers, 399 RBIs and 19 stolen bases. He could help the Giants down the road possibly, if he hits well in the minors first.
