Headley in a holding pattern

Aside from the top-flight prospects fans have been waiting for (Bruce, Kershaw, Bailey), there's another name that could have a big impact on the West coast - once he finally arrives. Last week, it looked like a call-up for Padres OF prospect Chase Headley was just around the corner - this coming after San Diego released veteran centerfielder Jim Edmonds. Now it looks like GM Kevin Towers has changed his tune.

San Diego Union-Tribune columnist Tim Sullivan explains why you better not hold your breath in anticipation of Headley's call-up.

Headley just finished up a week in which he was absolutely on fire (13-for-24 in 5 games). When he finally gets the call-up, Headley should be a jolt to an otherwise dormant Padres lineup. Keep an eye on the latest developments.

We'll keep you posted.
