Dan Johnson - Will he be a factor in 06?

[kemper5]

I like this guy and loved him in the minors, but given 550+ ab's this year could he be a 25 HR, 95 RBI, .275 type? OR could we see a 17 HR, 70 RBI, .260 type?

He's got good peripherals so I expect him to improve. Not so sure about 25 HRs this year, but I'm looking for at least 20-85-280. Down the road 25-95-285, with a bit higher upside in avg.

I'm targeting him late in drafts as a backup 1B and UT.

I'd say closer to the former, but not quite there. He has enough power to come close to 30 HR down the road. The fact that he hits for decent average and has excellent plate discipline will go a long way for him.

Like DJ a lot, but that ballpark and division are tough.
