It’s the Endy of the World and I Feel Fine

After not playing in the Majors since June 19th of 2009, Endy Chavez’s career seemed to be coming to an end. After all, he was a slasher, a speedy fourth outfielder with the ability to steal bases and put the ball in play. While a useful player to have, teams often find these types replaceable, especially when they pass the age of 30.

Instead of wilting away Chavez has been a revelation since returning to the Rangers on May 14th. After going 0-for-9 to start the season, Chavez has gone 17-for-32 with 3 doubles, a triple, and two home runs. That’s the exact amount of extra base hits, in the same ratio to each other, that Chavez had in 161 at-bats for the Mariners in 2009. Chavez went 4-4 with a triple and an RBI in the Rangers 7-4 victory over the suddenly mortal Cleveland Indians.

A hot streak? Sure. But maybe Chavez is just making up for lost time.
