Trot Nixon was brought over from Arizona to help add some depth to an all ready depleted Mets outfield. Well, forget about seeing Trot’s experienced bat in the Mets line-up this season. Ed Ryan of Mets Fever discovered in a chat exchange with John Delcos of the Journal News that Trot Nixon is out for the season because of a hernia operation.

I, like Ed, am disappointed with this news because Nixon has been through the pressurized wars of Yankees-Red Sox. Although that doesn’t necessarily mean he would of been a key component to any future Mets success at least you could count on him not to be intimidated by a pennant race or playoff atmosphere in NY.
