    A's How Many Games Will Chavez Play?

    Chavez has averaged 57 games over the past two seasons and is coming off shoulder surgery. He has already had one setback this spring and has now just been cleared to swing a bat again. Chavez is going to have to stay healthy for some length of time for the A's to contend. Nomar is Chzavez's backup and looks to be the Opening Day starter. So the question is, how many games do you think Chavez will play this season?

    they haven't ruled out Chavez for opening day. He was supposed to play today or tomorrow IIRC. If he's not ready, Barton will make the roster...if he is ready, Barton is going to AAA.

    I don't see him being ready for Opening Day. Tomorrow will be his first day to swing against real pitching since his setback.

    I'm just telling you what they said. They think he can still make the roster out of ST and not go on the DL.

    Roster decision easy as ABC | oaklandathletics.com: News

    Geren said the lineup he started Saturday is the one he's planning to go with Opening Night: RF Ryan Sweeney, SS Cabrera, 1B Jason Giambi, LF Matt Holliday, 3B Eric Chavez, DH Jack Cust, C Kurt Suzuki, RF Travis Buck and 2B Mark Ellis. When Garciaparra starts at third base, which will happen often when the A's face a southpaw starting pitcher, he'll bat fifth...
    looks like he's starting on opening night.

    A's won their last 2 ST games taking 2 of 3 from the Giants, too
