I'm not in on Span. Injury issues limited him and his skill set doesn't age well. They're much improved up the middle. Maybe Lagares gets healthy enough to return to form. That by itself would keep them going.
I was thinking of Span primarily as a 1 year deal with a vesting option or something. They could use speed at the top of the lineup and he'd be a really good platoon partner with Lagares.

The BBTN crew just ripped the Mets, Schilling in particular. Saying they didn't get all that much better today and they still need a 30 HR bopper in the middle of the order to get back to the playoffs. I don't think he realizes that the Mets' only real vacancy now is at CF, and with the exception of Heyward who is asking for like a 10 year deal, none of the other traditional middle of the order guys seem suited for CF.

You don't need to look much further than the Royals to show you don't need to have a feature piece in your lineup. No one individual player in that group scares you. It's just a bunch of good hitters in a row. It's not rocket science.
