Shawn Chacon was explosive for more than his antics off the field. For a time he seemed like the answer for Colorado’s starting pitching woes and to a lesser extent a closer. He is one of the few Rockies pitchers to make the All-Star game. It was hard not to root for the righty from Greeley. Until he started using that arm for more than pitching. Chacon made an impact early in the Rockies rotation his rookie year in 2001. Although going 6-10 with a 5.06 ERA he pitched 160 innings in 27 games. He earned his second highest WAR of his Rockies career at 1.8. But his sophomore year he battled injuries and was eventually demoted to the minors. He would finish 2002 in the big leagues. Chacon had his best season as a Rockie in 2003 with a 1.9 WAR winning 11 games and earned a trip to the All-Star game. His recurring elbow injury left him out of the All-Star game. Chacon didn’t win another game the rest of the season. He was shut down in August for the same injury. The next year he moved to closer and finished the season with 35 saves but had a record of 1-9 with a 7.11 ERA.
He later moved on to the Yankees, Pirates and then the Astros in 2008. He was demoted to the bullpen in June. Around that time, then general manager Ed Wade asked to visit Houston manager Cecil Cooper. Chacon said Wade was disrespectful in the exchange. Chacon lost his temper and threw Wade to the ground. Chacon never pitched in the majors again. In 2009 he was arrested for unpaid gambling debts but was released after Las Vegas authorities decided not to extradite him. - roxpile.com

Thanks bud, even the "before" version almost looks acceptable on a non-Mac.
