I never understood why he was included in the Iglesias trade to begin with.

I live in Atlanta and heard on the radio that Chavez is a good fit with the clubhouse- well liked with good vibes.

Another "good for the clubhouse guy" that Minasian likes.

Next winter were gonna focus on "good for the community guys" or something like that.

"That guys really funny, let's sign him. Be good for long flights and rain delays"

I would have a hard time concluding he tanked.  We can’t say that based on him sucking here alone.

But I also would not exclude it from being possible.

A guy at the end of his career could do something like that to try to get himself into a postseason situation.

It could be the guys last season, he's 39!  Do I blame him for wanting to go back to a team in contention, hell no.  Time will tell, we'll see his numbers going forward this season in Atlanta.  If he returns to his previous 2.11 ERA form then it gets interesting, doesn't it?  If, however, he maintains his 7+ ERA he had since returning to Anaheim then I'll have myself a dish of grilled crow.

No, it doesn’t get interesting, it becomes baseball.

Chavez was here for 4 weeks.  The last week he was here his ERA was 2.25.  So if he pitches to a 2.11 ERA with Atlanta, then he will be pitching how he was his last week here.

Okay, the great Jesse Chavez simply lost his motivation, his will to pitch while with the Angels.  I'm dropping this.  Best of luck to Mr. Chavez.

Or he had 2 bad games.

Chavez’s first game back: 1 IP, 1k, 0 runs

Iglesias in the same game: 1IP, 2ks, 0 runs

 

Perry got schooled

Pujols and Chavez.

The NL must really suck.

Please bump this when Chavez is elected to the HoF.
