Chavez began the 2001 season at the Milwaukee Brewers' rookie league affiliate, the AZL Brewers. He was promoted to the Single-A Beloit Snappers in 2002. During the 2003 season, he played at High-A High Desert Mavericks. He played there again in 2004, as well as with the Double-A Huntsville Stars. In 2005, he returned the Brewers High-A team, which had changed to the Brevard County Manatees. In 2006, he returned to Huntsville before being promoted to the Triple-A Nashville Sounds.
