CHRIS JOHNSON RUMORS
Johnson looking for redemption in 2012
As the era of rebuilding resumes for the Astros this season, some young players may emerge as future core players; it will be too soon to tell on others and for some, like Chris Johnson, this is a very pivotal spring. Johnson no longer fits in the "too soon to tell" category. For the 26-year-old third baseman, 2012 is the time to determine whether he is an everyday Major...

Chris Johnson 2011 MLB Breakout Candidate
How many of you remember how the Houston Astros did in the second half of the 2010 MLB season? I’ll give ya a minute.
Ok, time’s up! They did pretty well finishing 40-33 and a lot of that had to do with the emergence of third baseman Chris Johnson.
Who, you ask?
Well don’t feel bad because you can’t even find this guy on most fantasy baseball owner’s maps right now, and...

Johnson, Towles Back for 2011
Major league contracts are a curious business. The Houston Astros have agreed to one year contracts with two different players, each will make $424,000 in 2011.
The first: 3B Chris Johnson. In Johnson’s rookie 2010 campaign, he put up an OPS+ of 123 and a line of .308/.337/.481. He led all rookies in BA who had at least 300 at-bats. His 11 homeruns and 52 RBI were a lone bright...

Chris Johnson Player Projection No. 143
Key Stats: Chris Johnson hit .351 with runners on base last season. That was great. What wasn't great is that he only started 90 games because the Astros waited too long to cut their losses with Pedro Feliz and that 70% of Johnson's at-bats were while he was hitting 6th or further down in the batting order. If Johnson's numbers were projected over a 162 game season, he would have...

Chris Johnson for NL Rookie of the Year
I’m about to do something many baseball circles would consider blasphemous. I’m about to discuss the importance of wins without entering the debate for AL Cy Young. Instead, I’m talking about the NL Rookie of the Year Award. The Houston Astros have had a rough year and now sit at 69-75. Their magic number at 6 (games to .500). I’d hate to see where that number...

Chris Johnson : Rookie Watch 2010
Adrian Peterson or Chris Johnson? Lots of choices this year in Fantasy Football drafts. Why is a rookie Astros infielder hitting .300 trying to sway me away from AllDay? Luckily for you, the setting is at the ProBowlWannabee’s 2010 draft. My co-owner may have taken things too far. Oh, they’re not dolls….they’re action figures. It’s RookieWatch2010!

Foul Ball Victim Escapes Gloveless Relationship
Remember the Astros fan who evacuated his date just as a smoked foul ball approached their Minute Maid Field seats on Monday night?
Located in seats down the left-field line, Sara Saco-Vertiz was struck flush on the right arm by the ball after her date, Bo Wyble, scrambled out of the way - exposing her to the liner off the bat of Chris Johnson.
The couple resurfaced Thursday morning...

Astros Call Up Manzella, Chris Johnson, Billy Sadler RHP and DFA Matt Kata
Actually, the Astros DFA'd Kata a couple of days ago and somehow I missed it. Gee what a shame - this means that the possibility exists that Maysonet just might could actually get a few ABs no matter how much Cooper hates to have to do it. Us Astros fans should, I guess, just be glad we don't have to suffer through any more Jason Smith.
AAA season just ended - I was hoping...
