John Johnson  
Left Fielder | Retired or Inactive Players

Hitting
The book on Johnson is that you can knock the bat out of his hands with an average major league fastball. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. You can expect John Johnson to hit the ball to the opposite field... that's just the kind of hitter he is.

Baserunning & Defense
He generally takes one base at a time, though he'll take advantage if an outfielder gets lackadaisical. His glovework leaves a lot to be desired. Runners take advantage of his weak arm.

2010 Outlook
What The Retired or Inactive Players was thinking when they signed Johnson to a long contract, is beyond me: this guy flat-out sucks.
