2007

In the mad rush to get their catching prospects to the majors, the Mariners made Johnson--with all of 80 High-A plate appearances under his belt--skip Double-A altogether and spend all of 2006 in Tacoma. Guess what? It was hard! Johnson`s a good catch-and-throw guy, but his bat is going to take some time to develop. Tacoma might not be big enough for Johnson and Clement to both get the playing time they need.
