How to explain Denard Span's power display early this season? Is it "old man strength"? Does it have something to do with his beard? Or is it just a few years of hard work with hitting coach Rick Schu paying off in power?
Through 28 games and 128 plate appearances this season, Denard Span is one homer short his home run total from last season, when he hit five in 147 games and 668 PAs. He's already matched his 2013 total when he hit four in 153 games and 662 PAs and 2012's four in 128 and 562.
