Kelly Johnson wishes he was a cheap Mark Derosa. I’m not sure what the love affair with him is in the blogosphere, but thankfully Frank Wren doesn’t share it.

Maybe...

if a lot of people think he is a good player, he just may be a good player.

Just a thought.

His .692 OPS last year says otherwise.

And his...

…OPS in 2008 of .795 and OPS in 2007 of .831 say something else.

Far more indicative of his bad luck (low BABIP) and injury than his actual skill set.

"Johnson probably is the better hitter."

Matt, I have to disagree……….
