Eric Chavez is a special-assignment scout with the Yankees now. It makes me a little sad that it's not with the A's, but that's irrational because it's not like his scouting for the A's or the Yankees would have anything other than a marginal effect on my fan experience, and whatever effect it did have would be largely invisible to me. They don't put scouts on TV, at least as long as they're not buying ice cream for players.
