Denard Span did the same in the Nationals' 1-0 victory over the Marlins. With a double off Henderson Alvarez in the third inning, Span broke Cristian Guzman's Nats record for the most hits in a season (184).

Status: offline 		Nationals manager Matt Williams said this week he needed to see how Jordan Zimmermann’s bruised shoulder fares on Sunday before determining the team’s postseason rotation. On Saturday, Williams delayed that announcement even more.

Williams will likely wait until Thursday now to announce his rotation and roster. He wants to see who the Nationals’ opponent will be first, as the team awaits the winner of Wednesday’s NL Wild Card game.

Williams insists there is no gamesmanship behind waiting.

184 is their record? I know they haven't been in Washington that long but geez. This is their 10th season as the Nationals.

But the last Twin to have 200+ hits was Paul Molitor in 96. In 2006, Morneau had 190 and Mauer had 181 in 2009.

That should change with a full season of Santana as a lead off hitter.

No one scored over 800 this year.

Hopefully he learns to walk a bit more too. That's the last step in his development as a hitter.

Status: offline 		Konerko was a better hitter than Jeter. Maybe not a better player, only because Jeter played SS. But when you consider Jeter was not good defensively at SS, Konerko (also a poor defensive player) was not that far, if at all, removed from Jeter. He just happened to not play for the Yankees.

Its puzzling.

Jeter has also had a trail of mega-babes he's left behind. Legend

Hinch, 40, served as the Diamondbacks’ manager for parts of the 2009-10 seasons, leading the team to an 89-123 record after being hired despite his young age (34 at the time) and the fact that he hadn’t managed at any previous level.

I was always pissed at Jeter for Minka Kelly.
