To call 2007 a breakout year for Headley would be a bit of an understatement. All the third baseman did in his second full season was nearly win the Texas League Triple Crown, finish in the top five in 11 offensive categories and make his big-league debut to boot.
Headley has always had an advanced hitting approach with outstanding on-base skills. His power increased in 2007, making him a more complete hitter. He's fine defensively at third and appears to be ready to contribute full-time in San Diego. What that means for Kevin Kouzmanoff should be one of the more intriguing storylines in Padres camp this spring.
