Chase Headley excels again

Chase Headley hit his second home run of Spring Training against the Phillies, finishing 1-3. He now has a 1.080 OPS this spring.
Fantasy Impact:
Headley is looking more like a top-ten mixed league 3B than a low level or AL-only 3B. Headley had a weak 2014 with the Padres, posting only a .296 OBP in 307 plate appearances, but looked much stronger in 224 plate appearances with the Yankees, posting a .371 OBP. Headley has had a .370 or greater OBP in two MLB seasons, 2011 and 2012, and his 162 game average for those two seasons was a .835 OPS, 58 extra base hits, 94 RBI, and 168 hits. For reference, the tenth best fantasy 3B in 2014 was Nolan Arenado and he posted a .828 OPS, 54 extra base hits, 61 RBI, and 124 hits; Headley could reach those numbers in 2015 and have a tremendous impact.
