Chase Headley called up!!

[FmrFresnan]

RotoWorld.com has learned that Chase Headley is being called up for Friday's game and will be in the lineup against the Cubs.
As if it wasn't already obvious, Padres manager Bud Black just isn't a fan of Russell Branyan. If Kevin Kouzmanoff goes on the DL, Headley will likely get a chance to play fairly regularly for a couple of weeks, making him a decent option in NL-only leagues. Headley has hit .357/.433/.648 in 227 at-bats for Double-A San Antonio.

Holy crap, I don't know about this.

Why is Branyan even on this team ? Seriously....why is he taking up a roster spot if he's never going to be utalized when needed........ AA player over Branyan......talk about a slap in the face

Kouz not going to the DL, day to day

Kevin Kouzmanoff : Rotoworld.com - Kevin Kouzmanoff Biography from Rotoworld.com

While the Padres are calling up Chase Headley for the weekend, Kevin Kouzmanoff is not expected to go on the DL with a strained lower back.
The Padres instead plan to send down Paul McAnulty to make room for Headley. Kouzmanoff is day-to-day.

Best case scenario.........Headley makes the leap to the bigs without a hitch, and Kouz makes the transition to LF solving all of our issues in one swoop....

Worst case scenario.......Headley makes the leap and falls into the abyss, and Kouz is out for the season, and we're stuck with no 3bag again

I think Headley is going to get off to a fast start, but I think as the season progresses or as long as he's a Padre, I think he'll stay in the .250-.260 range. I think he's going to impress a lot of us.

He helped us out today.

He helped us out today.

He's helped out a few times......and could likely help out more if he were to actually see some consistant playing time.......say when our starting 3bag goes down, or the LF debacle proves it needs help
