Hello everyone! It’s Stacey. I am stepping in for designated hotter duty and posting this week’s entry.

As a Yankee fan I was torn. In my humble opinion, we have a few guys on the team who would be worthy of being the designated hotter. There are the obvious choices Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez – oh shush, you know it’s true – and we even featured Curtis Granderson a couple of months back on this very site but then I thought about which guy solicits the most tweets from panting female Yankee fans during games and I came up with the perfect choice.

Behold, Eric Chavez…

Wow, I’ve never seen that picture before. Hubba hubba.

Because I’m a Yankee fan and they have a facial hair policy – none of the players have anything that looks like it could house gnomes and other small creatures on their faces – I usually don’t like those tufts of chin hair players on other teams have but in this case, it’s perfectly okay.

Okay, so I don’t even know what is happening in this next picture and I don’t really care…

Oh dear, here’s another one:

Look! He’s even hot when he’s making a weird face during pregame warm ups:

Here he is about to swing a hot bat:

He has a nice smile.
