Pretty sure he's been picked off twice already this year. Great offensive start for him though.

Well then, he'll fit right in with the good aggressive baserunning we're seeing from the parent club.

 

Let's keep running like crazy against Sal Perez. We're due, right?

Johnson done. 3IP, 3K, 2H. I am rooting for him heavy but this is a depleted Durham Bulls team. With Loney, Nick Franklin and John Jaso all on the DL the team is missing what would probably be their 2-3-4 hitters in Beckham-Mahtook-Dykstra. Encouraging start for EJ either way.

 

Seth Lasso mentioned that Johnson was 92-95 with more torque in his delivery....If he can stay there all year, he can be dominant again.

What was Johnson at velo wise last year? Read a Lasko tweet that he was sitting at 92-95 today. That's higher than last year yes? Where was he in 2013?

 

As always, Im a tad bit slow to post lol

 

He was like 87-90 last year.

That's fantastic news. Him returning to form would be incredible for our system. He was arguably our top prospect prior to last season if you exclude Abreu. I know it's only one appearance, but if the velocity is legitimately back I feel pretty good about his chances.

yeah, that is the main thing, having his old stuff back. this is what i was hoping for since they shut him down. a nice rebound.

 

and if true, adding more pitchers to the mix. um i wonder at what point will the sox coaches will be convince of his rtn to his old self?

can he be added to the mix at the major league level if another injury or something happens?

If he pitches this way for at least 3-5 starts, I'm sure they would probably go with him over Beck, Surkamp or Penny (assuming they're not ready to bring up Rodon quite yet).

so in essence, he has improved on his speed. that is weird.
