Chase Headley Projections
Padres outfielder/third baseman Chase Headley is set to make his '08 debut today against Andy Pettitte and the Yankees. What can we expect?
Before the sesason, over 550 ABs, I had Headley projected at .266-16-74-85-2. Such a performance would be worth maybe a buck, in roto terms. Not really worth your time.
However, Headley deserves extra credit for hitting .305/.383/.556 in a half season at Triple A this year. That line doesn't do his performance justice; he was a monster following a rough April. He may have been preoccupied after not making the Padres following a .349/.362/.744 spring.
Factoring in his '08 performance, I could see Headley performing at a .280-20-80 type pace. That's useful, especially if he qualifies at third.

What about a projection for someone who could be a top 10 catcher going forward, Jeff Clement?

I have Zimmerman on the DL, and I'm still trying to sort out my 3B situation. How would you rank Aubrey Huff, Alex Gordon, Troy Glaus, and Chase Headley?

You should give Blake DeWitt some thought if he is available. He has been in a slump lately, but his numbers should pick up and he has that job locked down.

Sorry, but this isn't about Headley, it's about fantasy baseball strategy in general. In a 5x5 league with your basic wins, k's, saves, ERA, and WHIP, wouldn't it be smart to use only 3 or 4 closers and a couple dominate middle relievers and no starting pitchers on your staff? This all but guarantees wins in saves, ERA, and WHIP, so 3 out of the 5 pitching categories. After this just hope your offense can win 2 or 3 categories every week and you can't lose, right?
