On today’s agenda:
1. Denard Span’s early doings
2. A Houston Astro you might want to grab (no, really!)
3. Jockeying for position: Jordany Valdespin
4. An ugly fight breaks out, and so does an expensive shoulder

On today’s agenda:
1. Roy Halladay gets torched, again
2. A perennial fantasy stud finally shows up this season
3. Ervin Santana bounces back
4. The new Atlanta Braves cleanup hitter?
