Chase Headley has been called up
Published 6/14/2008 by Dex at Gaslamp Ball: Front Page Posts
...  THE SAVIOR IS HERE!!! The Padres will have to make a roster to accommodate Headley on the 25-man roster and it will likely be an outfielder. I bet they send down Gerut just to blow our minds. According to Corey Brock, he'll be playing Sunday. Maybe we'll be able to catch a glimpse of him in a 2008 uniform and swoon. ...

Headley Finally Arrives

The Padres front office has finally pulled the trigger on Chase Headley's promotion. He will presumably take over left field from a revolving case of the following characters: Scotty Hairston, Paul McAnulty, and Justin Huber. Kevin Towers has also indicated the Headley may be used to spell Kevin Kouzmanoff at third. He was quoted as saying, I think the environment is much better than it was three weeks ago. We have got a lot of guys contributing offensively. When he gets here, he shouldn't have to feel like he's got to carry this ballclub. We're playing good baseball now... To me, now is kind of the right time to have him here, when things are going well. This move has ...

Headley being promoted
Published 6/15/2008 by Eric Stashin at Rotoprofessor
According to their official website (click here for the article), the San Diego Padres are about to promote top prospect Chase Headley, with him joining the line-up either Sunday or Tuesday.  In 259 AB at Triple A, Headley hit .305 with 13 HR, 40 RBI and 49 R.  He had 18 AB in the major leagues last season, collecting just 4 hits.  He is considered to be the top prospect in the Padres organization and should takeover the full-time LF duties for a team who is desperate for offense.  If you are in need of an OF’er, especially if your league requires 5 starters, he is a must own.  He could be useful for owners in shallower leagues, though definitely not right away.  I would wait to see how he ...

Headley, Finally

Padres to promote top prospect (Padres.com) Headley getting the call (Union Tribune) If the Padres refuse to give the fourth most productive hitter regular playing time, Headley at least deserves the shot, considering he has the highest ceiling of our trio of left fielders.  And while Edgar Gonzalez is certainly carrying his weight at the dish, I feel a more comfortable with Headley available to backup at third. To avoid becoming a super two player, compounded by a slow start in Portland, Headley’s early season callup was delayed.  After the super two deadline has passed (it somehow changes every year), and the team’s chances of making ...

Weekly Rundown: Head spinning, Izzy's return and 'Zona Max-ed out
Published 6/15/2008 at Roto Arcade
Known as the Sacagawea of fantasy primers, the Weekly Rundown guides head-to-head owners through a forest of obscure stats and exploitable matchups in an attempt to help solve lineup conundrums. While reading, keep in mind matchups are subject to change due to managerial moves, unforeseen injuries and Mother Nature's influences. LEADING OFF As we head into this week's action, here's the nitty-gritty on a handful of notable names: • Move over Dick Pole, San Diego heartthrob Chase Headley is now the most porn-tastic name in baseball. As we foreshadowed on ...
