You can't go wrong with either and they both deserve to be starting. Kind of like Diaz and Harris. At this point I think I like Johnson at little better, more practice at 2nd and more pop in his bat, but Escobar hasn't had quite the opportunity (to prove himself or go into a slump) that Johnson has.

I will choose Kelly Johnson on this one. Yunel is a very good back up players for the Braves middle infield and Chipper Jones. But Kelly Johnson is a very good all around player, and I think is better than Yunel.

I think Kelly Johnson should get he starting role. He has got a little more pop than Yunel and he has way more experience. Kelly can hit some homeruns while Yunel is someone who will consistently hit base knocks. Yunel makes for a really good pinch hitter though when the games on the line, he'll probably come through with a base knock.
