I think Johnson is in for a big year and is being undervalued right now. Sure he's streaky, but if he stays healthy I'd bet on him finished .260 20-20. Hitting 2nd in that lineup with a decent OBP is going to give him a ton of runs. I think your team would look better if you moved Kipnis instead.
Here's the pitch on the way, a swing and a belt! Left field! Way back! BLUE JAYS WIN!

I would absolutely try the second trade for Markakis. If not, don't drop Johnson yet and try to trade Kipnis. You can use the keeper value as a selling point as well.

Even though Kipnis has good keeper value?
Kipnis keeper value makes it even better to trade him away IMO. You only keep 7 players, what are the chances you keep him anyway?

With our keeper rules, you have to keep the player 2 rounds ahead of where he was drafted. So players drafted in the top 5 rounds are rarely kept. Kipnis most likely would be one of my keepers since I can keep him in the 18th round next year.
Bump for Murphy. Looks like you might need some more speed and Murphy could help with that as well as 10 or so HRs. And talk about scoring runs?? He's batting in the Texas rangers lineup... They might all end up scoring 100 runs

I echo these very sentiments. I grabbed Martinez the other day myself.
