His biggest attribute appears to be hand-eye coordination and the resulting bat speed. I don't know that any lingering residue of a PED would be responsible for this current display with the bat.
I don't know what he took and how long he took it. I assume that he has been "clean" since he got suspended.
With steroid usage of sufficient duration, we can see increase in musculature, possible gaped teeth, and possible pronounced forehead. I don't see any of that with Chavis.
f*** the enigma. I think it's naive to believe that he is the guilty exception when most young players will probably take almost anything to help their chances of getting to the show. He was just dumb enough and/or unlucky enough to get caught.
I think the kid is kind or a pretentious puke but I want him playing in Boston every day until he hits a wall and does not adjust.
Then hand him a bus ticket to Pawtucket.
