Chase Headley Update
Chase Headley was mentioned today in Kevin Goldstein’s Future Shock over at Baseball Prospectus:
The former third baseman had a strong enough spring training to nearly win a big league job at his new position; maybe losing out to Paul McAnulty in the end burst his bubble temporarily, as he’s currently at .250/.318/.350 in 10 games for Triple-A Portland, and that’s only because he’s gone 5-for-13 in his last three games. More alarming early numbers include just one home run in 40 at-bats, and four walks against 15 strikeouts from a player with one of the best approaches in the organization. Still, with McAnulty struggling once again to hit big league pitching, Headley could be just a two- or three-week hot streak away from getting his chance.
