Chase Headley displayed great power in 2012. Will he do it again in 2013?Photo courtesy of SD Dirk. San Diego Padres — Predicted Finish: Fourth Place, NL West I do not want to say that the 2013 San Diego Padres are a bleak source of fantasy production, but I also don’t want to over value their players. They do have young stud, Yonder Alonso, who I have been tracking for about 3 seasons now.  He could be a good fantasy option if he has a true breakout season this year, but then again, he does not have much around him and he plays in a pitcher-friendly home park, so I do not see elite numbers in his near future. We also have Chase Headley, who is in the past few seasons has been a terrific 3B option. They also have a few other decent to good options in guys like Carlos Quentin, Cameron Maybin, Everth Cabrera and Will Venable, so let’s take a little closer look shall we?   Padres Offense: Player Name Pos.

Three for the Show: Shortstops

Via Friarhood  |  February 04, 2013
This is the fourth (not even halfway yet) in a ten-part series where I will identify the top three players at each position in the Padres’ minor league system. Up next: Shortstop.

There are guys who can hit and guys who can pick it, but there’s no sure-fire player that looks to...
