Eric Chavez Retires ? MLB Trade Rumors

Great player for a while before the injuries. May have been on a HOF path. He only played 212 games from 2007-11, 90 of them played in 2007. Makes it hard to believe he had played 150+ games in 5 of 6 seasons from 2000-05. At least he was able to make himself useful in his final years (120 OPS+ over his final 648 PA).

Just can't believe he never played in an ASG. Career 37.4 WAR, 4th most among players who never made it to the ASG game behind Tony Phillips (50.8), Tim Salmon (40.5), and Kirk Gibson (38.3).

Bad knees finally made him call it a career. He was basically unavailable for most of the year. He is choosing to retire now rather than have surgery to prolong his career & possibly damage his future quality of life.

He is a great guy who had a very good career that could have been great if it hadn't been for all the injuries.
