Reed Johnson: Is he for real?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Patrick Mooney of CSNChicago.com wonders if the Cubs will keep Reed Johnson in the fold in 2012. Johnson, he points out, could help groom top prospect Brett Jackson next season. This year the 34-year-old is hitting .347/.385/.539 in 209 plate appearances.

 

Wait, what? Can't Marlon Byrd or somebody that we're already paying "groom" Brett Jackson?

Keeping Johnson will pay off as long as he can groom Brett Jackson into a .347/.385/.539 line offensively.

I don't want Reed Johnson grooming Brett Jackson to have an OBP 40 points higher than his average, it will mean he has given up all his patience at the plate.

 

Brett Jackson is going to be the second coming of Jesus. Reed Johnson should feel privileged he'll get the opportunity to witness him play

I agree with you if his BA is .250, but I'll take it if Jackson is batting .347.

If Johnson can groom Jackson to have a .438 BABIP every season, I'd take it. Since he can't, let Johnson walk.

You need grizzled, gritty white guys to groom your up and coming players, duh. They'll show them how to play the game the right way. Besides, you can't really expect Jackson and Byrd to relate to each other. What would come next? Cats and dogs living together?

Of course, the Cubs being the Cubs Johnson will groom Jackson to run into the brick wall and it will end Jackson's career.

Who else is going to teach Jackson the more intelligent aspects of the sport!?!?!

That's exactly what the Cubs do.

35 year old Reed Johnson batting almost .350 is totally for real. Something just clicked for him I guess. It would be just like the braindead Cubs to let him walk so we can give the job to another fail-waiting-to-happen prospect like Brett Jackson. None of this would even be an issue if we had held on to Josh Hamilton.

THE RICKETTS ARE POURING ALL OF THE OLD STYLE DOWN THE EXPENSIVE NEW TOILETS SOMETHING SOMETHING PLAY THE GAME THE RIGHT WAY
