January 6, 2009 Eric Chavez's most recent shoulder surgery went great, and he intends to roam third base in 2009, according to the SF Chronicle. Chavez said, "I'm doing everything, and it's going well. I'm throwing at the stadium and that's feeling really good, and hitting is no problem at all. The last three weeks, everything's come together. My shoulder feels better than it has in the past 10 years."
November 19, 2008 Eric Chavez underwent shoulder surgery in August and he told MLB.com that he will be ready to go by the time spring training rolls around. "I'm about three months or so out from surgery right now, and rehab has been going really, really well," Chavez said. "I'm not going to start with baseball activities until January or late December, but talking to the doctors and trainers, we all pretty much feel like I'm ahead of schedule. So if I had to guess right now, there'd be almost no doubt; I fully expect to be ready for everything by the time Spring Training starts."

September 30, 2008 Eric Chavez and the Athletics still are holding on to hope that he will be able to return from multiple surgeries this year to play third base next season, according to The Mercury News.
