Headley on His Way Up
By Chad Gramling | June 14, 2008
The San Diego Padres are set to call up former Wizards, Chase Headley, who is widely regarded as the team’s top prospect. Reportedly, he will join the team this weekend in Cleveland.
The converted third baseman is in his first season playing the outfield and was hitting .305 with 13 home runs and 40 RBIs in 65 games for Triple-A Portland. The switch hitting Headley also had a .383 on-base percentage at Portland.
No word on who else will be involved in the roster move that will bring him to the team, but it is likely that an outfielder will outfielder will be sent down to make room. Methinks it means Scott Hairston is heading for the DL or possibly an end to former Wizard, Paul McAnulty’s stay.
