Time to fap it up Zeets

PLAYOFFS BABY!

This is pretty cool.

Another example of a no downside signing. Johnson won't embarrass himself at the plate at least.

The question to be asked is "DOES HE MAKE CONTACT?"

He hasn't the past few years thats for sure.

Now with KJ back in the fold, Hart needs to bring back Prado at some point where we can re-visit the old Prado vs KJ discussions.

JK folks.

Meh.

Minor league deal so it's fine. I'd rather see what we have with Toscano and Almonte but no risk move.

My God. What a joke. So is he our LF? We sure are racking up the 2B-3B-some outfield types.

I still like Johnson, but he's not really starting material anymore. Good signing for the bench or as a platoon partner. He still has those reverse splits though, so it's guaranteed that Fredi will ignore this and we will get the least amount of production possible out of him.

Fredi is KJ's wrong manager at the right time.

I liked KJ when he was here back in the day, so I suppose it fits with our whole nostalgia angle of 2015 of sucking balls.

Yea, that is pretty much my take too.

KJ is still a relatively good hitter. Relative to the current Braves lineup that is.

[emk418]

John Hart sure does like Tommy John

[Braves1976]

Kelly Johnson for Braves clean-up hitter. Freeman will see protection like never before! :)

Only now, at the end, do you understand ...

[Braves1976]

Since the Braves are back to collecting Johnson's, should we bring back Reed on a minor league deal too? :)

True, but then so are you and I at this point.
