E. Chavez prepared for utility role: Eric Chavez is already embracing his new role with the Athletics this season: backup and utilityman. The six-time Gold Glove third baseman has ordered himself a first baseman's mitt and one to play the outfield, too. "I'm going to have to get a bigger bag," Chavez said. He's not going to be picky about where he plays -- he's just happy to be returning to the A's at all following season-ending back surgery last June. Chavez has undergone five operations since Sept. 5, 2007, including two microdiscectomy surgeries in different spots in his back. The 32-year-old has been taking swings for three weeks now and is eager to test his body with the daily rigors of spring training next month. At 210 pounds, Chavez is 10 pounds lighter than his 2009 playing weight. He hopes the hard work on his fitness this winter will help his cause.

Back - Hoping to be ready for spring training

Fantasy Analysis
A's manager Bob Geren figures Chavez will make the opening-day roster. "I'm sure he just wants to get out there and play," Geren said. "His health and performance will dictate how much he plays. He looks great. He's in really good physical shape and he's smiling, happy. If he can work hard in a part-time role and he embraces it, his chances of staying on the field go way up." The A's hoped all along that Chavez would be ready for spring training, but general manager Billy Beane has known it probably wouldn't be in a full-time role. The GM traded for third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff last week. "I don't see it as a threat," Chavez said. "Kouzmanoff's a great player. It was a good move for them." He said he won't know until he's back in the full-time baseball grind how he will respond physically. Chavez was once a perennial threat for 30 home runs, but you wouldn't want to draft him outside of AL-only leagues now. He's clearly a long shot for even 300 at-bats.
