Braves, Kelly Johnson Agree To One-Year Deal
內文:

11:15am: Johnson receives a $2MM guarantee for a one-year term, with the
ability to earn $1.25MM in incentives, Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports tweets.
10:39am: The Braves and veteran infielder/outfielder Kelly Johnson are in
agreement on a one-year contract, pending a physical, according to MLB.com’s
Mark Bowman (Twitter link). Johnson, a client of Relativity Sports, will be
signing on for his third stint with the Braves — the same organization that
originally selected him with the 38th pick of the 2000 draft.
Financial terms have yet to be reported. It seems likely that the Braves were
able to woo Johnson back with the chance to earn significant playing time,
though he’ll have to compete with fellow veteran free agent signee Emilio
Bonifacio.
His most recent run with the club, of course, ended when he was shipped to
the Mets — along with Juan Uribe — in a deadline deal last summer. Clearly,
there were no hard feelings, as Atlanta added a pair of young arms and
Johnson got a chance to play in the World Series.
All told, Johnson ended the 2015 campaign with a solid .265/.314/.435 slash,
with 14 home runs, in 335 plate appearances. He was limited almost entirely
to facing right-handed pitching last year, though it’s fair to note that he
has actually been slightly better against southpaws over his career.
With roughly league-average batting results over his career, Johnson has
plenty of appeal as a utility piece. He’s never been viewed as a supremely
talented defender, but he’s generally received roughly average ratings from
defensive metrics at a variety of spots.
Johnson saw time at six positions last year between the two organizations,
and could conceivably be an option at third, second, or the corner outfield
this time around. If nothing else, he and Bonifacio give the club options in
the event that it decides to cash in the just-acquired Ender Inciarte or
finds a taker for some of the remaining money owed to Michael Bourn or Nick
Swisher.

備註:有問題歡迎大大不吝指教喔!
1. 勇士隊以$2MM/1YR附帶$1.25MM激勵獎金簽下了Kelly Johnson。
2. 上個球季勇士隊也以1.5MM/1YR簽下他,交易大限前跟Juan Uribe被交易到Mets。
3. 勇士隊是他大聯盟生涯的出發點,其在2000年第一輪第38順位選進Kelly Johnson。
4. 工具人的他上個球季守過1B、2B、3B、SS、LF跟RF,預計要跟另一位內外野工具人
Emilio Bonifacio來競爭上場機會。
5. Kelly Johnson在2015年球季的成績表現如下(球隊:ATL/NYM;薪水:$1,500,000):
G H HR RBI BB BA OBP SLG OPS OPS+
