 Baseball Toaster: Catfish Stew : Eric Chavez: Firebrand!
Eric Chavez has been a regular part of the A's lineup for eight seasons now and, thanks to a long-term contract, figures to be in Oakland for the foreseeable future.
Chavez's career of confounding oratory got off to a promising start early on when, just prior to Game Five of the 2000 Divisional Series, he pronounced that the Yankees would be well advised to surrender meekly as it was Oakland's turn to rule over the rest of the American League.
Considering that Chavez uttered it prior to Friday's game, that would mean in order for his dream to come true, the A's would essentially have to get swept at home by the Angels to complete the final homestand of the year, and then maybe win a game or two in Seattle.

 Eric Chavez - BR Bullpen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Eric Chavez, a first-round draft pick by the Oakland Athletics ten years ago in 1996, has spent his whole career in Oakland, with a slugging average (as of the end of the 2005 season) of nearly.500 and five Gold Gloves at third base.
While 2006 was not his most impressive season, he helped the team by getting 84 walks to go with his 22 home runs, and he again was a strong defensive player at third base.
As a comparison to the rival 2006 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, their third baseman Maicer Izturis had a much higher batting average but many fewer walks and home runs, and so Chavez had a higher OPS.
