Chavez is coming off a very bad season with the Orioles, where he hit .203 in 169 plate appearances.  He also landed on the disabled list twice and was designated for assignment on August 4th.  However, he was later added to their Wild Card and Division Series roster as his contract was selected on September 11th.

This will be the second time Chavez has graced this organization with his presence.  In 2001, he hit .208 while driving in five runs and hitting two doubles in a limited role during a span of 29 games.  Chavez, who will turn 35 in a month, has played for a plethora of teams including the Expos, Mets, and most recently the Orioles.  He might be most known for his catch in game 7 of the NLCS in 2006 where he robbed Scott Rolen of a two-run home run in a 1-1 game.  This outstanding catch can be viewed here.

Chavez did have a nice season with the Rangers in 2011 where he hit .301 and belted five home runs and knocked in 27 runs.  This was after not playing a single game in the majors in 2010 and only collecting 36 plate appearances in eight minor league games.  He could be a bit of good luck as he has also played for three different post season teams.  In the last two years he has played on two post season teams, so maybe there’s room to make it three in a row.
