Chavez: a back injury away from being done

[NYgiantsfan5689]

Guy's had a great career, but it's time to hang it up. No reason to risk the rest of your livelihood on trying to keep playing, unless he needs like drug money or something.

I give him a ton of credit for stickin with it for as long as he has.

I'm sure the A's can get some of the money back with the insurance, but I know his contract is guaranteed through 2010 with an option for 2011. needless to say, they won't pick up that option, but I believe they're on the hook for the rest unless he retired. I don't see him doing that until the contract has run its course, but who knows.

Its really a shame that this guy is a sneeze away from being done. But even if this wasn't a problem, Chavez has played so little in the last few seasons that he would just be a shell of himself, at best. His pitch recognition has to be near obsolete after all this time.
