Nationals acquired OF Denard Span from the Twins for RHP Alex Meyer.

Obviously a good move for the Twins who have an abundance of OF talent in their system, some of whom will provide big league help at some point this year (Arcia?) For the Nats, was this trade as beneficial?

For what it's worth, Meyer is noted as the #2 overall prospect in the Nat's system according to MiLB.com. From the same source, here are his 2012 and career stats to date:
