Nick Johnson playing great -- almost no buzz

[Madison]

It's a shame that his wrists will hold him back so much. Saw quite a few articles about them last year that said he would battle his wrists for the rest of his career. Some sort of medical condition. Do a "search" and you should be able to find the threads that have the info in them.

Ride him while hot, but don't be real surprised when those wrists send him back to the DL.

Johnson is crushing the ball... if I had any kind of room at 1st or utility I'd pick him up immediately

so the question is...should i keep hafner..or go for johnson..he's got upside....potentially more then hafner

I think you read my mind,,,,,I had been planning a 'list of best players most people dont realize' but hadnt gotten around to it yet. Nick Johnson has to be on that list.

INK

you should post that list.

I was trying to tell people. You could see this inferno starting to slowly burn over the last couple weeks. First, he was just hitting for average. But, man, not only is he hitting for average now and taking walks, but the power stroke is coming, too! You gotta grab this guy if he is on the WW!

2005 version of Lyle overbay.

hafner is the best bet. johnson does have injury problems and hafner is just the better player, at least at this point.

i drafted him in my deep 14 teamer and he's been made me quite happy. that said, it's hard finding room for him when i've also got overbay, matos, klesko, and floyd taking up 1B/UTIL spots.

if only the top of my draft had panned out as well as the bottom!
