He hasn't stolen a base since May 5, though, only even attempting one steal since then, and with the Nats' offense struggling behind him as well, his run scored total of 18 on the season isn't exactly what you'd expect from a leadoff hitter either. Span's still an important part of the Washington lineup thanks to his center field defense, but his fantasy impact has been fairly unimpressive this season.","date":"Sat May 25"},"fullName":"Denard Span","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Christmas came early for Span as he was dealt to the Nationals in November. It is noteworthy that Span has only topped 600 at-bats once in his career. This is important because his power is mediocre and despite being a good base stealer, he doesn't rack them up like other players, so he needs a lot of playing time to pump up the counting stats. That said, hitting on top of the vaunted National order, runs should be plentiful. Span makes for a viable end-game play in deeper mixed leagues, just don't overestimate how much his potential increases moving from a likely cellar-dweller to one of the best squads in the game.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"},"playerRater30DAY":0.4,"playerRater15DAY":-3,"positionRank":70}
