Denard Span will bat leadoff for the Twins tonight against the Yankees. This hardly comes as a surprise. It seems like everyone who has an opinion about the Twins has expressed a desire to see this happen. The only question is why Gardenhire took as long as he did to make this move. Span's OBP is sitting at .424, 143 points above Gomez's .281. That's a .281 OBP, not batting average. I don't think Span is really a .424 OBP guy (he's only had 101 PA) and I don't think Gomez is really as bad as .281, but regardless, that's a huge difference.
