Scouting Report: Blew away expectations in 2003. Spann is very athletic, has great bat speed, patience, and pitch recognition, with the potential for more power which has yet to show. He has a decent glove as well as good speed. Keeps a very consistent routine and makes adjustments well. Should move through the organization quickly if he continues to retain his 2003 form.

2006: .284 avg, .360 obp, 17 Doubles, Triple, 6 HRs, 32 RBIs, 31 Runs, 21 Walks, 1 SB

Is this guy better then Hee-Seop Choi? If he is, then Youk could stay at first and Chad could go to third if he makes it to the majors.

well he should end up being better than Choi. Id think Spann gets called up to AAA in July.

Mike Lowell is signed through next season, very good bet he stays with the Sox through then. No need to rush this kid. A call up to Pawtucket could be coming for him sometime late this season.

Id the MLB Comparison thing new? because Ive never seen the comparison of him to Joe Randa. Anyway, kid is having solid season, but whats his projection, I havent heard a lot about him, is he in line to replace Lowell down the line?

Im not exactly sure what their plan is for the 2008 season about the 1st/3rd base situations. Most likely Youk will be manning one of those positions

Spann is right now having a breakout season so it could be a wait and see type deal. He's probably in line to get a late season call-up to Pawtucket

A flaw Spann has to work on his high count of Ks which currently stands at 83

According to mainetoday.com, Spann may be shut down for the rest of the year with his severely sprained left ankle.
