I kind of agree with Baytiger and Lester. I think he will be a shut down guy on the back end to start the year and possibly move into the rotation later.

It was only one weekend but he was arguably our best pitcher against the Cajuns. A part of me is wondering if that will play out later in the season.

That might be a bit much for a freshman but it wouldn't exactly shock me.

i can see him working out of the pen on weekends. depending upon the weekend workload, he can start during the week with very specific pitch counts to manage his wear and tear.

Jay has said time and time again that he really likes one of his top arms on the back end of the bullpen for high leverage situations. I feel Johnson can fit that while getting big time experience this season and then focus on stamina and extending deeper into games in the offseason and next season.

With Hurd, Holman, and Jump he doesn't really need to be a starter this season. As I said before, there is a point for every pitcher if they are dominating then you may have to give him more starting looks if any of the starters show any signs of struggling. That will play out as we go.
