Chase Headley was a 2nd-round draft pick of the San Diego Padres in 2005. He made his major-league debut in June 2007, quickly making his way through the Friars’ minor league system. Always a fan-favorite, after a three-and-a-half year stay in the Bronx, he’s back with the team he spent the first two-thirds of his career with.
During his original eight-year stint in San Diego, Headley had without a doubt the most productive years of his 12-year career. His standout season came in 2012. Playing in all but one of the Padres’ regular-season games, Headley had himself a career year.
