Orioles sign OF Endy Chavez to one-year deal

Confirming a report out of the Dominican Republic, FOXSports.com’s Jon Paul
Morosi says the Orioles have signed Endy Chavez to a one-year deal.
No word yet on the terms, but the deal shouldn’t be worth much more than $1
million.
Chavez, who turns 34 in February, hit .301/.323/.426 in 256 at-bats for the
Rangers after being called up from Truple-A last May. It probably qualified
as the second best season of his career. He hit .306/.348/.431 in 353 at-bats
for the Mets in 2006, but he’s struggled to stay in the majors in the five
years since.
Chavez will replace Felix Pie as a left-handed-hitting fourth outfielder for
the Orioles. Since he remains a pretty good center fielder, he’s a decent
use of a roster spot, even though he probably won’t hit so well again.
Ideally, the Orioles won’t need to give him too much time in left field,
though that could depend on how Nolan Reimold performs.
