Fantasy Analysis
Johnson was mired in a lull with Arizona before being dealt to the Blue Jays last summer. The trade revived Johnson, who hit .270 in 33 games with Toronto. Johnson has solid power potential for a second baseman, but his inconsistencies make him more of a low-end Fantasy starter on Draft Day. (Updated 01/17/2012).

Over the last two seasons, Kelly Johnson has discovered the joys of the home run, bashing 47 long balls in 2010 and 2011 combined. However, he enjoys taking the ball out of the yard so much that he has taken to swinging more and more frequently. The formerly disciplined Johnson has swung at an increasing proportion of pitches outside of the strike zone in each of the last two seasons, and not coincidentally, his strikeout rate has soared. Two years ago, Johnson's freer-swinging ways were masked by a high batting average on balls in play (.341 BABIP), but last year he paid for them with a .222 overall batting average. The dearth of hits took a toll on Johnson's run and RBI totals, though he did improve somewhat after an August trade sent him from Arizona to Toronto. The Blue Jays have brought Johnson back for the 2012 season, and his power numbers could get a minor boost playing at Rogers Centre. Despite the strong odds of another mediocre batting average, Johnson's homers make him a viable middle-round pick in standard mixed leagues. (Updated 1/27/12)
