Bill Johnson  
Left Fielder | Baltimore Orioles

Hitting
Johnson always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. The Baltimore Orioles do tend to sit Johnson when the opposing team throws a lefty. It's no secret he can't touch the left-handed breaking ball.

Baserunning & Defense
He has the tools to play all three outfield positions. His arm is accurate enough. Johnson doesn't have great speed, though he reads righthanders' moves well enough to steal a couple bases each season without getting caught very often.

2010 Outlook
In four full big league seasons, Johnson already has done more than what scouts projected when he came out of college.
