ELLIOT JOHNSON RUMORS
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.
And...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Elliot Johnson homered against his former team and the Kansas City Royals rallied from an early five-run hole, beating the Tampa Rays 9-8 on a cold, blustery Wednesday night.
Lorenzo Cain and Jeff Francoeur each drove in a pair of runs for the Royals, who trailed 5-0 in the third inning before slowly chipping away at the Tampa Bay lead.
They eventually pulled...

Kelly Johnson, Quintessential Rays Acquisition
This afternoon, it was reported that the Rays will ink Kelly Johnson to a one-year deal. It’s an interesting match, as Johnson provides the Rays with the one thing that they like — a player who has been very good in the past but who still comes at a modest cost. He also gives Tampa manager Joe Maddon the thing that he likes best — options.
Tampa will be Johnson’s fourth...
Elliot Johnson Plays Catch With Fans in Tropicana Dome Parking Lot Before Red Sox-Rays Game (Photo)
It's been an of-repeated joke that there are so few spectators at the Tropicana Dome that the Tampa Bay Rays have gotten to know their fans on a personal basis. Elliot Johnson may have taken that sentiment a little too far prior to the Red Sox-Rays game on Thursday. A random Tampa Bay fan named Chris decided to tweet at Johnson while tailgaiting before Thursdays game, on a lark...
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.
Getting a baseball player to respond to a tweeted invitation to come out of the clubhouse and play a little game of pre-game catch in the parking lot? That's taking it a step further.
But that's what Tampa Bay Rays utility infielder Elliot Johnson did on...

Johnson's miscues prove costly in Rays' loss
ST. PETERSBURG Elliot Johnson's face still bears the bruises and scrapes from an ill-fated slide into home last weekend. But the lingering marks were nothing compared to the hurt he felt on the inside Wednesday night or the painful loss he ultimately caused the Tampa Bay Rays.
It was a triple-frown performance.
Three costly miscues one with his bat, one with his glove and...

Elliot Johnson's Face Looks 'Gross' Day After Face-First Slide (Photo)
Before Friday night, Elliot Johnson was mostly known for his spot-on impressions of ESPN personality Tim Kurkijan. Now, he'll be remembered for a painful, face-first slide. In the last play of the 2-1 loss against Blue Jays, Johnson tried to score from second base –– off Carlos Pena's hit –– and attempted to nosedive into home plate. While Blue Jays catcher Jeff Mathis...
