Johnson is actually a pretty valuable 2B... on a team that can afford to carry a no-impact stick at 2B.

If Moustakas were hitting at his pre-All Star 2012 level and Escobar was hitting .270/.325/.400, you could live with Johnson's glove and limited offensive contributions.

They're glaring on a team with a lot of glaring weaknesses in the lineup.
