Chase Headley is Ready

I am back from my posting vacation and I have been out of the minor league loop for a while. The biggest surprize to me is that Chase Headley is not roaming the OF yet for the Padres. Chase Headley is 6'2 and weighs in at 230 lbs and he played college ball for Tennessee and he currently is playing for the Portland Beavers (AAA) from the Pacific Coast League. He was selected in the second round of the 2005 First-Year Player Draft. He is a switch hitter who has played 3B before in his career. Most of his power comes from the right side of the plate with 11 of 12 of his HR are from the right side. For the season he is hitting .303 with 12 HR, 39 RBI, and a 31:63 BB:K ratio. He sports an impressive .926 OPS (.719 OPS from the left side and .996 from the right side). With Guert, Giles, and Hairston playing the OF currently, I think it is time for Chase to make the jump to the big leagues. In 2007 he had a .437 OBP which was the second highest is all the minor leagues. He was ranked #32 prospect by Baseball America before the season. Headley is currently owned by Kyle
