Fantasy Analysis
Not this again. Johnson hits lefties pretty well, but manager Bobby Cox goes through phases where he likes to sit him against them anyway. Johnson has disappointed a bit in Fantasy, and getting inconsistent at-bats won't help his case. Still, he remains worth starting in most mixed leagues because of his power potential.
