"Cubs manager Lou Piniella said Wednesday that Xavier Nady (elbow) won't be ready for regular outfield duty until June.

Nady is slowly forging his way back from Tommy John surgery. He made his spring debut on Wednesday afternoon, but was limited to DH duties and is likely to stick to the limited role for the next few weeks. He will be used primarily as a pinch-hitter over the regular season's first few months."

Via Rotoworld.

I haven't been on the up an up on the Cubs much this Spring, so it's news to me that Nady won't be ready for "regular duty" until June.

Sounds like he's going to be really useful taking up a roster spot.

Somebody's gotta be this season's David Patton or Joey Gathwright.

So Fukudome will be flailing away against lefties for the first couple months of the season. Sweet.

Except that I would argue that Xavier Nady is actually way better at baseball than those two.  Does this mean they'll keep him on the 25-man roster and use him sparingly?  Why not let him be 50% in Iowa or something?

Nady is terrible.  The fact that he can't throw the ball in from the outfield makes him worse than terrible.  He's the Yeti of the Cubs.
Because when you're fighting for your man, experience is a mutha'.

They could have done much worse for a fourth outfielder that rakes against right handed pitching to platoon with Fukudome.  It appears that RF is all Colvin's next year.
