Left Field

I think the Cubs have realized that Johnson excels when he's a part time player.  So, they want to keep him platooning with Edmonds in center right now since they are both flourishing under this arragement.  Johnson is coming off a back injury (from last year), so playing him every day could be detrimental

But I understand your argument.

I think they'll use the revolving door of Johnson getting a spot start, DeRosa, Murton (now that he's been called up), Hoffpauir, etc.  While I don't necessarily agree with that method, I understand it as well, since they can give Fontenot or Cedeno a spot start and still keep DeRosa's bat in the line-up.  If someone gets hot, they'll stick with them.

The only casting vote for  "Left Field"  you should be making is punching the ballot for Ryan Braun for the all-star game.  This is only his second year in the big leagues and he became the fastest player EVER to have 150 RBI's (152) in the shortest amount of time in the league (182 games).  That means you can pick any players' name out of a hat in Major League History, and to this point, Braun would be as great as any of them. 

While he started April and May very slow, he has REALLY, really turned it on.... AVG. 292  20 HR's,  55 RBI's.
