I gotta believe we'd be interested. Hes been pretty bad in Clev. but a 2-1 gb/fb ratio interests me.

These are his career stats, all of which are in the AL, besides 3 relief appearances in his firsy year (97) with the Pirates, not too bad, but not great, yet a change to the NL may be good to him, he's pitched in some tough AL divisions. Johnson is also locally known, he graduated from Conner High School, in Hebron KY. He is worth a chance given he is a good groundball pitcher and is stron local ties may help put more people in the stands.
I've always liked him, and I've been surprised by how much he's struggled the last few seasons. He's a good guy to take a chance on, as long as someone else is paying most of his salary.

Pass. I'm not sure he's any better than Joe Mays.

Well, the Red Sox just traded for him.
Well that decides that then.Originally Posted by blumj
The Red Sox are more in need of starters than we are. Nice to be able to say that for a change.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

If Jason Johnson's thinks pitching poorly in Cleveland is bad, just wait until Red Sox Nation gets a hold of him...or any left-handed power hitter.
Did the Tribe & Sox trade out DFA's?

It was Johnson and cash for PTBNL or future cash considerations.
You wonder if Epstein would like Arroyo back.......

Boston Redsox Acquired pitcher Jason Johnson from the Cleveland Indians for a player to be named or cash considerations.
We'll take Manny, that closer guy..Mr.Walk and they pay all the salaries.
Go Gators!
That's a good starting point. If they throw in Ted Williams' head, I'm sold on this deal.
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
To be accurate I believe his name is The Greek God of Walks.
