Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Plink! "Darn this Gold Glove, anyway"

The Chronicle's Susan Slusser reports that Eric ChavezEric Chavez has won his third consecutive Gold Glove at third base for the Athletics, and it may earn him a rare pre-free agent contract extension.
"It seems like it's tougher every year to stay on top of your game,'' [Chavez] said. "I do whatever I can to maintain it, but now, if I don't live up to certain things, it's like I'm slacking.''

Chavez's combination of top-notch defense, power (95 homers in the past three years) and run production (100-plus RBIs each of those seasons) could translate into something unusual for the A's: a contract extension that would keep him in Oakland beyond his scheduled free agency. General manager Billy Beane has said that signing Chavez to an extension is something he'd like to do.
All right, all right, I know I said no more baseball for a while. But this news was too good to pass up!
