[miracles716]

someone drafted him the 2nd round of my keeper league and i am confused because i never heard his name, is this a crazy pick?

He plays CF and leads off for the Twins. He's an OBP machine.

Yes. Span's good for OBP and he'll steal a few bags, but he lacks power. He's a late-round guy in my book.

Yeah its pretty crazy. I think he has a ton of potential but he won't be a high round fantasy guy.

2nd round is way high, but as was said - he's an OBP machine, and will score a ton of runs. He may hit 10 HRs and steal 30 bases. He was the 20th overall pick in 2002. Definite upside, but no way will he ever be a 2nd round pick.
