Fantasy owners can probably anticipate a 2010 season similar to 2009's output for Span. Atop the Twins' lineup, Span should have plenty of chances to run and score, giving him significant value in multiple categories. .290-100-8-50-22 in 600 AB

Positives / Upside	An ideal lead-off hitter, Span brings advanced on-base skills and 20-steal ability to the table. With the Twins adding Orlando Hudson and Jim Thome, he could see a boost in his run total, and he's still young, so there's a reasonable chance of him taking another step forward in HR and SB.
Negatives / Downside	Span isn't likely to provide much in the way of power. His BABIP last season was rather high, suggesting a drop in batting average could be in store for 2010. He will also need to avoid letting his walk rate drop again, as it did last season from 2008's level.
Recommendation	Buy at cost
Draft Position	168
