	BBTF's Newsblog Discussion :: Pirates ink Chacon
		Chacon, who split last season between the Yankees and Pirates, filed for $4.25 million in arbitration and the Pirates offered $3.7 million.
		Chacon can make up to $225,000 in performance bonuses: $50,000 each for 160 and 180 innings and $125,000 for 200 innings.
		Chacon is a guy you non-tender and try to bring back for $1 million or less, not offer a contract and decide you'll pay at least $3.7 million.

	Bruce Markusen's Cooperstown Confidential: Chuckin' Chacon
		Most writers now refer to Chacon as the Yankees' No. 3 starter behind Randy Johnson and Mike Mussina, but in reality he's been their No. 1 starter since coming over from the National League.
		At the time of the trade, most Yankee fans would have had trouble picking Chacon out of a lineup and might have been excused for confusing him with Elio Chacon, one of those legendary Mets from the franchise's early years.
		Like Wynn, Chacon doesn't throw a high percentage of first-pitch strikes, often falling behind 1-and-0 and 2-and-1, but compensates by being able to throw his breaking ball for strikes when he's behind in the count.

		Chacon didn't speak any English and, therefore, didn't realize Ashburn was calling him off the ball.

		Another time, Ashburn was desperate to keep shortstop Elio Chacon from causing collisions in the outfield.
		Chacon was a shortstop who ran back for any and everything he thought he could get, usually plowing into Ashburn.
		When Ashburn realised Chacon spoke very little English, he went to a bilingual Met named Joe Christopher and asked him, roughly, how do you se habla "I got it" Espanol.

	Paige’s Page: La Tengo
		The Mets starting shortstop was Elio Chacon (shown at right), from Venezuela, who spoke no English.
		Mets centerfielder Richie Ashburn would run in, yell “I got it” and because Chacon didn’t understand English, Chacon would run into Ashburn and the ball would fall for a hit.
		So, sure enough, the next time the ball is hit into shallow centerfield, Ashburn runs in and yells “la tengo”, and Chacon comes to a dead stop.
