Motivational speaker Tony Robbins once said, “In life you need either inspiration or desperation.”
The New York Yankees have officially taken on the former with only themselves to blame the day they decided not to re-sign third baseman Eric Chavez.

Veteran Chavez finds perfect fit with D-backs
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- When the 2012 season ended, infielder Eric Chavez knew it was time for his stint with the Yankees to do the same. There were multiple reasons, but chiefly, he wanted to get closer to his home in Scottsdale.
In that sense, there couldn't have been a much better fit than the Diamondbacks, who were interested in signing the veteran of 15 major league seasons...

Let us now praise Eric Chavez
Some of you top baseball insiders have probably heard about the incredible mental and physical regime that Yankee 3B Eric Chavez undergoes during games in order to keep his frail, injury-prone body from deteriorating. It rivals the intellectual gymnastics that Alphonso maintains on a daily basis in order to keep up his finely honed bloggery.Did you know that on the day of a Yankee...
Yankeetorial: Yankees do the right thing with Eric Chavez
Supposedly, the SF Giants sought Eric Chavez before the trade deadline and waved a decent package at us, but we Cliff Lee’ed the deal. It might have saved money next winter when the cheap-obsessed ownership tanks the budget with its Calvin Coolidgesque scheme to cut costs, until Yankee children everywhere are eating oatmeal burgers and cobbling shoes from discarded tires. Thank...
Eric Chavez's Dad: Maker Of Fine China?
Last month, in the first episode of my new podcast, I said the following about Eric Chavez:"...I think if he doesn't get hurt it's a successful year."Well, that didn't take long.

It was quite a ceremony in Boston yesterday, as the Red Sox celebrated the 100th year anniversary of their home known as Fenway Park.
The New York Yankees had a front row seat, and even came dressed for the occasion wearing vintage uniforms of the New York Highlanders, the name of the Yankees prior to 1913...

It is mind-boggling that this took so long, especially after reading a mid-January post on MLB Trade Rumors that there were a number of teams interested in him.
This was not surprising because when Chavez is healthy he is as solid a player as anyone...

Yankees fail to sign Nakajima, turn interest to Chavez
The Yankees announced that they could not reach an agreement with Japanese infielder Hiroyuki Nakajima after they won the posting for him last month with a $2 million bid.
They get their $2 million posting fee back and Nakajima heads back to Japan. He’ll probably try to join the MLB next year when he has enough service time to be a full fledged free agent and can sign with any...
