September 25, 2008 The Twins took the lead in the AL Central with a four-game sweep over the White Sox and on Thursday night. Denard Span was a key in the Twins' 8-7 extra inning win. Span was 3-for-4 with three RBI and his sixth triple of the year.
Our View:Span has been a solid fantasy option this year with a .299 average, .385 on-base percentage and 46 RBI.
September 20, 2008 Twins outfielder Denard Span has scored 52 runs since the All-Star break, which leads all rookies and is second in all of baseball to Detroit's Curtis Granderson during that time, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
Our View:Span has been a very solid fantasy option, as the above note indicates. He has a good average (.301) and on-base percentage (.391) to go along with his 17 stolen bases and 65 runs scored.
September 13, 2008 Denard Span went 2-for-5 with four RBI in Saturday's 12-2 win over Baltimore at Camden Yards. Both of his hits were homers, the second of which was a three-run shot.
Our View:Span recorded multiple hits in five of his last six games, and registered his first homers of September.
September 10, 2008 Denard Span has hit the proverbial "rookie wall" of late, but he will continue to push to make it through it as the Twins push for a playoff spot, according to the Twins Official Website.
Our View:Span hit just .214 over 10 games and has made a couple of mental errors as well before going 7-for-14 the past three games with six runs scored. Looks like he has run right through that wall and come out alright.
August 30, 2008 Denard Span went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Oakland.
Our View:Span has recorded two RBI in back-to-games, and in three of his last four. He looks to remain solid heading into September.
