No way. Hang on to Johnson and hope he pulls it together.
The Randy for Runelvys thing was a joke, sorry if it seemed serious ... But on a related note ESPN's Fantasy "Guru" (Eric Karabell) just advised someone to trade Johnson for Pudge and Kim. Hasn't anyone ever taught him not to sell low? Does he seriously expect Johnson to have a 5+ ERA all season?
I can't remember the last time I've paid attention to what the guys at ESPN fantasy say. A few of the guys on this forum are a lot better analysts than they are. They tend to get high or low on someone much too quickly, as if they're rookie managers themselves.
As just one example, they had a whole segment on how Javy Lopez is completely washed up, saying he should be on no one's roster, less than a week before he caught fire.
I realize that no one could have predicted what Javy has done since, but the article seemed baseless and unecessary to me at the time, and now looks even more ridiculous. Of course, I can't find the link now...

you still have to give credit to funston and karibell, i mean no one can really predict a hitter using roids.

Top 6th: Montreal -V. Guerrero homered to left -R. Calloway hit sacrifice fly to deep center, O. Cabrera scored, W. Cordero to third -J. Macias doubled to deep left, W. Cordero scored, J. Vitiello to third -J. Vitiello scored, J. Macias to third, J. Carroll to second on wild pitch
Johnson gave up the homer, sac fly, and the double
Don't give up the Unit yet. Look at it as he has a month to earn his stripes by pitching well. The entire season means nothing as of this point. For every fantasy baller, the next month is what matters and Unit will be a playoff performer for you.
