This projection shows that Headley has about 5 or 6 more years of good productivity at the major league level. It also predicts that in those six years Headley will accumulate about a 20.7 WAR (minus 2% for the average DL time of a player is 20.3) and given that a quality major league infielder earns about 4 million per win above replacement Headley deserves up to 81 million dollars on a 6 year contract. This means that teams with some money to spare that are looking for an infielder should not hold back on Chase Headley because although the price has risen he is still a bargain even at around $50-70 million for five years which is what many rumors say he will most likely take (In five years he is projected to accumulate 19.2 WAR equivalent to about $77 Million).
