Denard Span With A Productive Game Saturday April 7
7 years agoTampa Bay Rays outfielder Denard Span scores a run as well as drives one in Saturday versus Boston. This is his third good fantasy game in Tampa Bay's eight outings this season. Span comes with some positives. The reports say he will hit leadoff on occasion. Span is coming off a 2017 season where he batted .272 with 12 home runs and 12 steals. He rarely strikes out, having not topped 79 strikeouts in a season over the past eight seasons. As long as he gets to 450 plate appearances, he should serve as a steady and safe fourth or fifth outfielder in a 12-team mixed league. The troubling concern is that he has now been held out of the starting lineup three times in the first eight games of the season, though he has found his way into the game in all eight. The question that we need to figure out is whether he will get enough playing time. For now, keep him in deeper leagues but monitor his playing time for the next week or two.
