Depends on his ability to return, Span is not attempting a Bo Jackson type comeback. Smoothing out torn labrum in hip joint - has become more common but procedure and results are not in line with returning from a torn meniscus (knee cartilage). Procedure should reduce his pain and increase range of motion. Believe that Denard was seeking $12-15 MM per year and 3-5 year contract. The contract is not a one year 'prove it' deal but it could be a good contract for the Giants even without him returning to 2014 form. Giants could also be stuck with 2 CFs who can't cover CF with Pagan and Span if their injury histories continue. Giants are taking a risk but they've seen his workouts and medical reports so it's an informed decision.
