I am reminded of why I don't post here much.
[QUOTE=Enscheff;361196]I suppose we define "top prospect" differently. You must consider Brandon Marsh, currently the #4 prospect in the Angels system, a "top prospect"? Same with Derek Hill, the #4 guy for the Tigers?
Derp along guys, derp along all day long![/QUOTE]
Your first comment was reasonable and appropriate. The little addendum is the reason people get frustrated with you.
[QUOTE=mfree80;361227]Hint--he likes it. You are giving him his outlet of pleasure. Seriously. This site has good content without engaging him. Let him sit in the corner twiddling his wiener while everyone else engages in conversation. I promise you, guys like him will either stop with the bs or leave when you stop reacting to it.
Enough with the back and forth nonsense.

This guy has stud potential! Bravo on a great signing! This guy is a top prospect!
This site has a few people who use their genius to engage other members in great conversation, debate and disagreement. There is always someone derailing a thread with supreme analysis and Internet superiority. No name needed. I'd rather debate the topic at hand:
"Johnson has seen a bit of time in the Majors, mostly with the 2015 White Sox (plus another six plate appearances in L.A. this past season). In 120 career plate appearances at the big league level, Johnson has a .226/.296/.264 batting line. However, he’s a career .281/.336/.392 hitter in parts of three Triple-A campaigns even in spite of his poor work at that level in 2016. And, he’s just a couple of years removed from ranking as Chicago’s No. 4 prospect in the eyes of both Baseball America and MLB.com. (He also ranked second on MLB.com’s list of the game’s best second base prospects that year.) Johnson has received 80-grades (on the 20-80 scale) for his speed and drawn positive reviews for his bat-to-ball skills. He’s never been said to have much power in his bat, though, and he’s also been plagued by elbow, hamstring and knee injuries dating back to his college days". -Steve Adams
I don't know about top prospect designations,but he was highly regarded a couple of years back. I'm not hyped by the trade but he may be Mallex-esque. Meh
No reason to get worked up either way about this deal. Obviously Johnson has some ability but its tough to think he will have a big impact on the team.

I see Johnson competing with Jace for a spot on the OD roster. Maybe the loser of that competition goes to Gwinnett to take a shot at CF.
Top 10 in the Dodgers system is something
Nobody is expecting magic. But maybe
The good thing is we are gambling on some youth and talent instead of a 33 yo vet
Hope Johnson can get back on the right track. Also good to use that ignore feature at times.
