Johnson and Hill share similar skill sets, but each had worn out his welcome at his old digs and needed a change in scenery. Johnson has traded contact for power the past few seasons, which could be why Toronto traded for him, as that is part and parcel to their offensive philosophy. Still, at some point you cannot continue to trend upward in strikeouts, and the 70.1 percent contact rate Johnson sported last season should signal enough is enough. While with Toronto, Johnson fanned an excessive 31 times in 115 at-bats but did draw 16 walks. While there are more reliable options than Johnson, few offer the power upside of 25-plus homers from a middle infielder. Consider Johnson if you need pop, but be cognizant of the fact his average is risky unless he reverses the trend of increased strikeouts.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Mon Feb 27"},"playerRater30DAY":6.1,"playerRater15DAY":1.9,"positionRank":6}
