Mike Morse dealt by Seattle for AAA outfielder Xavier Avery.
Other than the way his name rolls off the tongue, there's nothing particularly outstanding about Avery, who's probably a 4th OF at best. For all his modest major league accomplishments during his short time with the O's in 2012, this Xavier University grad notes that he is the 4th best hitter ever in MLB with the name "Xavier", behind Xavier Clifford Nady, Francis Xavier Healy, and Xavier Brooks Paul (I love baseball-reference.com).
