Denard Span was alright in 2016. Pretend I’m making a crunched-up Robert DeNiro face while typing that. He was fine, really. A .331 on-base percentage isn’t great or anything, but he wasn’t a total drag at the plate or in the field. I liked the guy, if that helps.
Span was second in home runs for the Giants in the second half, too. Just one behind Angel Pagan.
I wrote that last two paragraph at 6:00 in the morning, then I had to walk around Lake Chabot six times. I’m better now. Anyway, the larger point is that while Span wasn’t as exciting as maybe we could have hoped, he was just fine, considering.
