Eric Chavez Marquee

He won the Gold Glove at third base every year from 2001 to 2006 and was never once an All-Star, which for six years of being the best fielder at his position takes some doing. He hit 260 home runs in seventeen seasons with 1,477 hits, 639 walks and a .268 average, and led the American League with 95 walks in 2004.

Thirteen of the seasons were in Oakland, where he was the third baseman for the clubs that won four division titles between 2000 and 2006 and lost the first round every time. He hit 32 and 34 home runs in 2001 and 2002 and signed a six-year extension he never played out.

His back gave way — two surgeries, then herniated discs, then a neck operation — and from 2007 to 2010 he played 154 games in four years. He came back as a reserve for the Yankees and Arizona and hit .281 in his last four seasons. The 2020 ballot gave him two votes of 397.
