You're wrong, his BABIP is .262. The defense is doing fantastic with him on the mound.
as a Johnson owner, I seem to remember plenty of ground ball hits to the SS and a lot of errors commited by everybody.
Ok, congratulations..
The bottom line is, his BABIP is .262, league average is .300. What do you want me to say?
that when his BABIP regress to around .300 that his ERA will rise?
Lol, I was being sarcastic. This "PlayingWithFire" character doesn't seem to understand that he has actually been benefiting from his defense, not being hurt by it. He also doesn't seem to understand what BABIP means. It's sad, really, the ignorance level on some people who post here.

low BABIP can be from 2 sources, luck or defense. You can't possibly tell me that a MI consist of Miguel Cabrera, Hanley Ramirez and Dan Uggla is playing good defense. Whoever they put in the OF didn't help much either. Unless I'm completely clueless BABIP is batting average in balls in play. And it has a huge luck factor in it when it comes to pitchers.
and frankly I'm not the only one

Are you interested in joining a 28 teams dynasty league? If so, PM me.
The fact is that this is a guy who everyone picked off the WW. Even if his ERA is more typically in the 3.50 range, people who have him should be enormously happy. He has a very good K rate and even on the Marlins will do OK in wins. How many pitchers can you say that about? Not many, and none of the other guys were plucked off the WW in April or May.

I actually don't think that Johnson will be the best rookie pitcher on the Marlins by the end of the season.
If you ask me, Scott Olsen is younger, has better stuff and is left-handed. Look at Olsen's last eight starts and tell me what jumps out at you. The 2.8 ERA? The 1.1 WHIP? or the 9 batters per 9 innings he is striking out. Bottom line: Olsen is pitching like a champ in his second trip around the league, which means he's made adjustments. His control is great. His minor league numbers make Johnson's pale in comparison.
Olsen = Real deal.
Oh and Johnson is good too. I just think hitters will figure him out while Olsen is figuring out the hitters.
