A's not yet optimistic with Chavez 
Six-time Gold Glove third baseman Eric Chavez needed another shoulder operation after having both shoulders surgically repaired last year along with his back. He is rehabilitating in the Phoenix area. "We'd love to be optimistic about Eric," assistant GM David Forst said. "Certainly having him and Mark (Ellis) in place at the start of the season would be great. We're looking forward to having Mark the next three years, not necessarily opening day. As we've learned with Eric, we want to make sure he's OK for the long haul." MLB Player News: CBSSports.com, 2008-10-21 05:22:05

Defense might bring Varitek back
C Jason Varitek, the captain and an 11-year member of the Red Sox, is eligible to become a free agent, and he did not have the kind of contract year (.220, 13 HR, 43 RBI) that would command a lot of attention. But GM Theo Epstein said his defense and handling of the pitching staff still make him an important player for the organization. "If I walk into spring training and don't see Jason Varitek, it will be eye-opening and very sad," infielder Kevin Youkilis said after the Game 7 of the ALCS on Sunday.
