Giants scout Crede, now Johnson?
interesting turn of events these past couple days...first we hear about white sox scouts watching lowry. now today we find out 2 giants scouts are watching dan johnson. a Johnson/Crede combo would be pretty solid, basicaally better than anything on the current roster. what do you think is traded for them?

Johnson could draw attention from teams such as the Mets and Giants (San Francisco had two scouts at Oakland's game Wednesday), who might be looking for a first baseman, but the A's haven't been in any rush to move him because they've believed he will hit. He's out of options, so if Sweeney were to stick past mid-April, the A's would have to trade Johnson or waive him, unless they went with three outfielders plus Jack Cust or dropped down to 11 pitchers, which is unlikely.

Putting Ortmeier's case for a long-term job to bed has to be worth more than Dan Johnson OPSing 750 for a 100 loss club.

Re: Giants scout Crede, now Johnson?
Johnson batted only .247 on Balls in Play last season, and personally I think he might be more like a .265/.355/.455/.800 guy, with the potential to go even higher. That's not great, but it's a lot better than Dan Ortmeier is likely to post.
And Johnson is only 28, less than two years older than the untested Ortmeier. I wouldn't give up a bundle to acquire Johnson, but I would be willing to make a move that wasn't very costly to acquire him.
Dan Johnson has a chance. Dan Ortmeier has little. IMO.

Only the Giants would scout Dan Johnson instead of Nick Johnson.

Re: Giants scout Crede, now Johnson?
That was kind of mean, but given that the Giants have scored a total of two runs in their last two games, we have to get our kicks where we may.

If Sabean tries to trade for him the Giants are at risk of getting swindled out of a half dozen or so good prospects.

The image of you lapping up Johnson is now burned into my skull. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
