The New York Yankees have received solid contributions from Chase Headley since his arrival in a 2014 deal with the San Diego Padres. Headley was acquired to bolster production lost by the suspension of Alex Rodriguez. Although his defense was not up to the same level as his Gold Glove years with the Padres, Headley led the Yankees in hits during 2015. The Yankees have had several third base prospects struggle in the minors in recent seasons, and while there are still quite a few possibilities available in the system, the best future scenarios may come from players making position changes. Headley will have things manned for the next few seasons, but there could be some interesting developments moving forward.
