NICK JOHNSON RUMORS & GOSSIP
Nick Johnson Retires, FanGraphs Weeps
Eight times on base. Had Nick Johnson reached base just eight more times in his ten-year career, he would have become just the 41st player in history to leave the game with a .400+ OBP (min. 3,000 PA). Eight times on base in ten years. I say we blame the Orioles, because it was with them that he reached base just 33 times in 102 PA last season (.326 OBP). He went into the season...
Nick Johnson retires, never reached his potential
Former elite Yankees prospect Nick Johnson retired on Monday at the age of just 34. Johnson played last season with the Orioles, posting a .714 OPS in 38 games with the team. His issue last year wasn't productivity, but the same thing that plagued him over his entire career: injuries.
During his major league career, which began in 2001, Johnson put together a career line...
Nick Johnson retires from baseball
Once a on-base machine, Nick Johnson has retired from baseball. Johnson, 34, had struggled to stay healthy over the last three seasons.

Nick Johnson, Sidelined Orioles Designated Hitter, Has Missed More MLB Games Than He's Played
It's become one of those rites of baseball. Every spring, the Yankees emerge in pinstripes, the Fenway franks hit the grill and Nick Johnson begins his inexorable march toward the disabled list. No one was surprised Thursday when Johnson, now the designated hitter for the Baltimore Orioles, landed on the 15-day disabled list, the 14th time in 12 seasons he's been sidelined...
Nick Johnson is the surprising hero of the night; Orioles defeat Rays to open up three-game set
I’m not sure what is happening with the Orioles; however, they are finding ways to win, and Friday night was another example of it. The Orioles – again – pulled out another come-from-behind victory, as they downed the Rays, 4-3, to kick off the first contest of a three-game set. If there was a must-win game in May, this might have been it as the Orioles and Rays were tied...

Nick Johnson on his .400 Career OBP
Nick Johnson needs a typical Nick Johnson season to secure his legacy. Not as an injury-prone first baseman — that’s his other legacy — but as an on-base machine. The 33-year-old left-handed hitter came into the year as one of fewer than 60 players in history [minimum 3,000 plate appearances] with a career OBP of .400 or better. Now with the Baltimore Orioles, Johnson was right...

First Look At Nick Johnson’s Mustache In Orioles Uniform
Nick Johnson was a favorite of ours during his star-crossed years with the Nats, and after a few years of kicking around with the Marlins, Yankees and AAA Columbus(!), he’s back in the DMV, this time with Baltimore. And, as he did four years ago, he’s growing some delicious lip fur.
Johnson and his mustache made their O’s debut Saturday, and he ended up starting two of three...
Thoughts on Nick Johnson and Yoenis Cespedes; Other Stuff
Yesterday, the Baltimore Sun reported that the Orioles were on the verge to signing first baseman Nick Johnson to a minor league deal. Well, this deal is another in a good amount of 'value' or 'bargain-bin' contracts that Dan Duquette has offered to veterans and minor league free agents this season.>>> Read More
