Nady wants to stay in Pittsburgh

Xavier Nady, a popular figure with his teammates, has been visibly bugged by the trade rumors involving his name in recent days. He knows that outfield is the Pirates' lone area of depth and that he is the most obvious choice to go. He also knows that Scott Boras, his agent, always advises his clients to try free agency, and that time will come for Nady after next season. Partly because of that, the Pirates never have approached him about a contract extension. "I've enjoyed it here. I really have," Nady said. "I enjoy this group of guys and these coaches. You spend eight or nine hours a day with the same people, it's important to enjoy that, and I do. I'd love to stay here a long time. I enjoy being part of the Pirates. But I also know there's nothing I can do about that."

He'll just have to live with the choices he makes. I better not hear him whine this time next year because the Pirates stink. Kudos for being a team player though.

He needs to remember that he, not Scott Baras, decides whether he stays in Pittsburgh. Has it even occurred to him to talk the Pirates' GM?

Liar,why would a player want too stay in Pitt. They are not god and will not be for a while. If they had decent management they would be a good team,

They said that about Nady once upon a time.

They say that about a lot of prospects.
