Headley (hopefully) Not Going Anywhere

I, for one, would be EXTREMELY disappointed if Chase is dealt, especially to Pittsburgh for an OF (Bay) who is coming off of an injury.

There's been a lot of talk about how Headley and Antonelli are as close to "untouchable" as ones could get in our system.

To that end, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this quote from KT in Krasovic's most recent blog entry (http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/weblog/2007/12/padres_and_pirates.html):

"I know that Pittsburgh loves Headley. We told them I don't know how many times we're not going to move Headley."

There are also some great indirect quotes from Alderson and Fuson in that same article.

KT...DO NOT TRADE CHASE!!! We have been waiting for years for our farm system to produce some positional talent (other than Khalil). He and Antonelli, until proven otherwise, are those guys!!!! I want to see those 2 in Petco Park fulltime no later than Opening Day 2009.

Hopefully

We can still pry Bay or Nady away with a Barrett/Lesser Prospect combo. Just not Chase or Matt.

as nice as that sounds

i don't think we can get bay w/o headley.
also i for one do not want x back i would rather play headley in left before giving x another shot.

You say unicorn. I say horse with a seat on its head.

Agreed

I don't want to see Headley go, even if it means we don't get Bay.

It seems like forever since the SD minor league system has produced players that can play at the major league level. After a number of yrs of retooling, it seems like we're on the verge of finally seeing some really good young talent come from our own farm system. I don't want to see those guys traded away unless absolutely necessary.

Along the same lines

Could we also make sure that Khalil doesn't get traded? I'm starting to see more and more clubs beginning to inquire about his availability, and it would go a long way to make me less nervous to lock up Khalil to a long term deal.

Imagine, an Adrian/Antonelli/Khalil/Kouz IF with Headley in LF and Hairston in RF in 2009. That's not a bad place to start.
