Doug Johns  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
The Retired or Inactive Players hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. His pitches lose some movement when he pitches from the stretch position. He frequently leaves fastballs up in the strike zone, where they get pounded. In his first taste of the majors, he has kept lefthanders in check but wasn't as effective against righties.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. Johns is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Johns has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Johns as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2010 Outlook
Johns flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Johns.
