For a 19 year old, he is having an impressive ST. Anxious to see where he begins his season this spring. It would be a big jump to Altoona, but he may be able to handle AA pitching. He is an interesting prospect.

Even Joe Morgan didn't become JOE MORGAN until after 9 fairly ordinary years with the Astros. Let's not expect too much too soon but Johnson seems to have the tools.Wildwoodcoach wrote: ↑Thu Feb 29, 2024 12:12 pmI would say- Estatic!!fjk090852-7 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 11:16 pmThat is a good comparison.

Which is why these young players have to be given ample opportunities to prove themselves. It's so easy for any of us to want immediate results, especially when we see young guys with other clubs performing like All Stars right away. Bu that's not the norm. That's why I'm opposed to bringing in veterans who're past their prime, taking up playing time over young guys who need to get past the growing pains as soon as possible. If the Pirates want to sign veterans, make them be guys who are still young enough and can make a big difference, like Cody Bellinger.Bobster wrote: ↑Thu Feb 29, 2024 1:26 pmEven Joe Morgan didn't become JOE MORGAN until after 9 fairly ordinary years with the Astros.
