Baseball in Fort Wayne

As expected, Chase Headley was sent to Triple A. He had a good spring. In 23 games, he hit .349 in 43 at-bats with three doubles and a triple, and he led the team in home runs with four and runs batted in with 14. Had it not been for the fact that he has only been roaming the outfield for a mere few months, he may have cracked the opening day roster. Instead, the Padres would prefer he see more game action to fine tune his outfield prowess.

In other former Wizards news, you MUST check out the MiLB article by Kevin T. Czerwinski. He spotlights the organziations top 10 prospects, recaps the draft and precidts the organizational player of the year. I’ll give you a hint; he expects a gigantic year from El Gigante.

In this order he likes; Cedric hunter, Josh Geer, Wade LeBlanc, Matt Antonelli, Yefri Carvajal, Kyle Blanks, Will Veneble, Cesar Ramos, Mat Latos and Steve Garrison. There is a chance we’ll see both Carvajal and Latos this summer. All others, except for Garrison, are former Wizards. Not too shabby.
