Thomps'n	Chacon
1-0, 0.00	0-0, 3.00

i was kinda surprised the cards didn't take a flyer on chacon. he's a pitch-to-contact, keep-the-ball-down kind of pitcher. he desperately wanted to come back to colorado, his hometown team and the one he broke in with, but the rockies preferred kip wells and mark redman for some (probably bad) reason.

thompson's career OPS allowed at minute maid (sample-size alarm: only 28 PA) is 1.262; career ERA is 8.44 in 5 and a third. he's given up more homers at the juice than any other park except busch III.
