I'm not against Denard Span, but...
There is slight risk with the late year concussion, but this is an underrated player coming off a down year due to BABIP in 2010 and injuries that he'll likely recover from in 2011.

BABIP and WAR by year (per B-R.com):
2008: .339 (!) and 3.9
2009: .353 (!!) and 3.3
2010: .294 and 1.3
2011: .297 and 2.6
Now, unless we're saying he's gonna BABIP like Ichiro, 2010 and 2011 are not especially down years.  2008 and 2009 were just high.
I like Denard, and if we could get him on the relative cheap, he'd certainly interest me. I just don't think he's as available and cheap as we'd like, but Jack has definitely surprised me before in the trade department.
