From the moment that young Michael Chavis got his opportunity in the Boston Red Sox organization, he impressed. Since that fateful April 19 day, Boston’s rookie started playing like a star and he hasn’t looked back since.
Now, deep into the month of July, Chavis is getting considered in a lot of the American League Rookie of the Year talk. For Sox fans, he’s been a shoo-in pretty much since he swung his first major league bat.
Getting the call so quickly this year, I’m sure many didn’t think that Chavis would’ve been able to make too much of an impact straight off the bat.
