Nick Johnson Signs With Indians On Minor League Contract

Johnson’s 2010 season ended early after undergoing wrist surgery. He’s only played in 195 Major League games over the past four years as he just keeps on getting hurt. That said, over those 195 games he’s posted a .419 OBP, so the talent’s still in there, and if Johnson’s able to keep himself together, he could force his way into a bench role, or even maybe more than that in the event of some struggling from other players. You never want to invest too much hope in a player like this, lest you get burned again, but you always wish for the best, so hopefully Johnson’s able to make something of the rest of his career before eventually hanging them up.
