A-Rod and Swisher benched for Game 3

Posted on October 16, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

As the Yankees attempt to come back from an 0-2 deficit against Justin Verlander and the Tigers, their manager Joe Girardi has decided to mix up the lineup by benching Alex Rodriguez and Nick Swisher in favor of Eric Chavez and Brett Gardner. A-Rod is 4-for-7 with two home runs against Verlander this season, but historically he never had ...

Keeping Chavez in the lineup once A-Rod returns

Posted on August 28, 2012 by Michael Augustine

Eric Chavez has earned the opportunity to be the everyday third baseman for the New York Yankees. And when the time comes for Alex Rodriguez to return from the DL, he should have to earn back his every day role at the hot corner. With a start tonight, Chavez will have equaled the 90 appearances mark ...

Chavez sat out because of sore back, expects to play Monday

Posted on August 13, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

Eric Chavez has been red hot lately, hitting .467/.500/.999 since July 30, but that didn't stop Yankees manager Joe Girardi from keeping him on the bench last weekend as his back has been acting up. “He hasn’t felt good after [starting] four days in a row [in Detroit],’’ Girardi told George King of the NY Post. ...

Eric Chavez leaves game with a sore ankle

Posted on August 4, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

It seems like the injuries never end in the Bronx this year, but when it comes to Eric Chavez we shouldn't be surprised. In a 7th inning at bat last night, Chavez took a swing and winced in extreme pain apparently coming from his ankle. He finished the at bat, but was replaced by Jayson Nix ...

Yankees don’t consider Nunez as an A-Rod replacement

Posted on July 26, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

When it became obvious that Alex Rodriguez would be headed to the DL for up to two months with a broken hand it seemed like Eduardo Nunez would be back in the Bronx shortly. After all,  Nunez would be the perfect platoon compliment for Eric Chavez at third base. While Chavez has had a good year overall, ...

Yankees need Eric Chavez to stay healthy

Posted on July 26, 2012 by Curtis Clark

Felix Hernandez was “effectively wild” on Tuesday night. If he didn’t throw a pitch that didn’t hit or come near a batter, I didn’t see it. The term effectively wild is a good one because he still threw 7.1 innings and gave up two runs. He struck out four and got the win on a ...

Posted on July 6, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

I could only find one picture of Eric Chavez's wife Alex Chavez. There are a few pictures on the internet that claim to be her, but from the information I can gather most of those are actually Mark Kotsay's wife. So here is the one picture of Alex Chavez available. She's posing on the right with ...

The Yankee Beat: Dickey, RISP, and Chavez

Posted on June 24, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

I have been waiting for today for a week now since I saw that CC Sabathia would be taking on R.A. Dickey, and his 43 inning scoreless streak, and the Mets. This latest round of the Subway Series is tied at 1-1 and the Yankees dropped two of three to the Braves to start the ...

Chavez says everyday a huge hurdle to climb physically

Posted on June 13, 2012 by Rob Abruzzese

This is not exactly something you want to hear from one of your players just as a pennant race is really starting to get heated up, but Eric Chavez admitted to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports that playing, even at the age of 34, is “a huge hurdle to climb physically,” because of past injuries. “Once I ...

Yankees struggles continue with RISP

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Chris Barca

I don’t know about you, but it’s very hard to watch the Yankees right now. In April, I didn’t get too frustrated because, well, it’s April.  But now, we’re a fifth of the way through the season.  We shouldn’t still be waiting for this team to climb out of the offensive funk they started the season ...
