He was a good ball player...Great 1st baseman with a great bat...Professional hitter.

Great eye...went the other way.

Im pissed off he's gone.....Javier Vasquez is a good pitcher but i would have rather seen Someone else go...


Mark my words....he will be the NEXT dominate 1st baseman of the NL

I saw that he lost his arbitration case with Montreal-I like him as aplayer he reminds a little of John Olerud-hit line drives to all fields. I think Yankees should not have given him up-his potential is too great
I hope he does not too good in Montreal being a Met fan.

I feel the same way. I think in the next 2-4 years he will become not only one of the best 1st baseman in the NL I think he will be one of the top players in the league. He has a great eye and patience at the plate and hits the ball everywhere. Although I would trade Vazquez for Johnson if given the chance again, I would have loved it if we could have kept him.
