Chase Headley Still Drawing Attention
By Chad Gramling | June 23, 2008
Few prospects in the San Diego system have been more highly anticipated than Chase Headley. Many were surprised when he was sent down near the end of Spring Training. But now he’s here and seemingly garnering a new headline on a daily basis.
If you’re seeking more info on the former Wizard, SignOnSanDiego has an interview with Headly that you should check out. Among the things he discusses is his relationship with former Fort Wayne manager Randy Ready, who did his best to keep Chase from getting to discouraged:
My manager these past two minor league seasons has been Randy Ready. He did a great job filling me in and letting me know as best he could what everyone was thinking. Randy had been in my situation. He really helped me
Ironically, Headley played third base in place of the injured Kevin Kousmanoff, who missed the past six games because of a back ailment. Now that their everyday third basebman is back, Headley appears headed back to left field.
