FACTS/ FLUKES: Span, Ramirez, Marte, Gonzalez, Wood

Beat continues for unheralded Span ... Denard Span (OF, WAS) is easy to overlook. His best weapon is good, but not elite, speed. He has little power. And his batting and on-base averages have slowly been slipping as there's now talk of him losing playing time in the Nats OF.
