Should Chase Headley be more aggressive at the plate?

Chase Headley is a relatively patient hitter, but his offensive struggles in 2015 might have been augmented by an overly relaxed approach in the batter's box.

Thanks to Didi Gregorius getting off to a slow start in 2015, Chase Headley's struggles went under the radar. After being signed to a four-year, $52 million deal, Headley accrued just 1.5 fWAR. Considering the going rate for one win in the free agent market, 1.5 fWAR isn't exactly a disaster. Still, the Yankees would love to have an All-Star caliber third baseman, especially knowing Headley is capable of performing at or near that level.
