ERIC CHAVEZ JOINS THE YANKEES & GETS A FANCY TITLE

Quick note about former Yankee Eric Chavez.

He now has a gig with them.

According to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com, "Yankees have hired longtime star third baseman Eric Chavez as a special assignment scout....Some teams view him as a potential hitting coach, too, but it isn't known if Chavez seeks that type of job at this time."

Nice job if you can get it.

Hell, I'm happy. I love Chavez when he was in New York.  He's a hard-nosed player and good teammate.  He also understood what it means to be a New York Yankee.

Welcome Eric!
