So, when Steve Schott says, “When we invest in a player we want to invest in the highest quality of human being,” is that a shot at Miquel Tejada? Or Jason Giambi?
My opinion is that Chavez is a good fielder, maybe the best in the game at his position, and a fine hitter against righties. But so far he’s a platoon player. $66 million is a lot of dough, and in a couple of years it may well be one of those that a handcuffed team is trying to unload on the Yankees.
