Headley is looking very good so far.
I took him in a fantasy draft the other day (deep league... 14 teams, 25
roster spots) in the 25th round on the chance he could turn into a very
solid player.
It's also nice to see The Claw appearing to return to his '06 form. The
Padres should have another superb bullpen again this year.
