Josh Johnson, SP FLA

 

News: Marlins RHP Josh Johnson (irritated right ulnar nerve) hopes to throw 20 pitches off the mound in a bullpen session Tuesday. He hopes to rejoin the team by June 1. Johnson has been throwing on flat ground and is throwing up to distances about 120 feet.

 

If he can be back on the 1st that would be a huge boost to the club.. However, I wouldnt want to rush him and completly mess him up.. Guess we will all wait and see...

If we are around .500 when he returns, then I will like our chances of having a pretty good year.

 

Right now we are doing pretty well with mitre, nolasco. johnson and hermida out. If we can stay in the mix we will get a tremendous boost when they return.

Hopefully he doesn't get rushed back. He has a bright future with the Marlins once he gets healthy.

I expect little from him this season. Anything he gives us will be a huge bonus

15 starts, mid 3 era, about 6 or 7 k/9, 1.3-.4ish WHIP would be great.

I'll bet JJ ends up giving us more production than Nolasco does this year.
