What can we expect from Dan Johnson--just called up by Oakland.

The 2004 Pacific Coast League MVP has tallied more RBI in the past two years than any other minor-leaguer. He has power to all fields and should be in line for a spot on the team at first base or designated hitter -- and maybe the outfield -- if Erubiel Durazo or Scott Hatteberg get traded. He has little speed, but his power numbers will make up for it. Pick him up as a corner infielder if the A's find room for him this spring. (Updated 1/24/05)

Beware Pacific Coast League numbers. They lie. It's a great hitter's league.

I happen to also give Johnson a decent shot at being an okay hitter with power. But don't get overly excited with the minor league stats when they come from that league.

and I believe they re-signed Hatteberg last year-not a real vote of confidence.

I like your numbers here, GTWMA. Serviceable at best, and probably not even that. Best hope for his owners would be a fast start to create some buzz, but the way this team is hitting, I don't suppose that's particularly likely.
