Interesting story could be developing in Atlanta about Kelly Johnson being angry about seeing some of his playing time going to Yunel Escobar. Read about in in the AJC article by Dave O'Brien.

Not sure how much value he has and what kind of pitcher we could get for him. Also, I think its too early to deal him. You can never have too many good young hitters.

I agree a platoon between him and Escobar would not be a bad thing for them or us.

Escobar is hitting the ball well right now and playing good defensively so he deserves to be in there. Johnson has cooled off a little from his hot start.
