Elliot Johnson seizing job at 2nd Base
by John Viril—
All season long, the Kansas City Royals have struggled to get production at 2nd base. Chris Getz opened the season as the starter and proceeded to hit .212/.273/.288 for a miserable .561 OPS. 38-year-old utility player Miguel Tejada has performed well in limited duty (.310/.355/.448), but manager Ned Yost wisely does not wish to over-expose him. Enter fellow utility...
Elliot Johnson, sometimes forgotten, stays hot vs. Rays

Royals' Johnson: 'The target, for me, is about 94 wins'
KANSAS CITY, Mo. First, there was magic. Then there was a magic number.
Ninety-four. As in victories.
Its not like we talk about it, Kansas City Royals infielder Elliot Johnson offered after his men rallied for a 9-8 win over salty Tampa Bay late Wednesday night, leapfrogging Detroit for first place in the American League Central. But the target, for me, is about 94 wins.

Johnson takes up offer, makes fan's day
Getting a baseball player to autograph a baseball or T-shirt has always been among the most common sights at a game.
