Chavez works out at first base
Oakland Athletics third baseman Eric Chavez is going to get plenty of time over at first base in spring training.
Chavez was once one of the game’s emerging stars, but a number of injuries have derailed his career.
His back problems have been notorious, but the Athletics are hopeful a position change could be the remedy.
Third base is a much more demanding position than first base and also requires a lot more work.
The team is most concerned about keeping Chavez healthy and his big bat in the lineup, so look for first base to become his new position.
