BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Johnson has registered 11 strikeouts and five holds in his last nine scoreless innings. He has been among the best set-up man in baseball with a 2.42 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 22:6 K/BB ratio in 22.1 innings this season. Current Atlanta Braves closer Jason Grilli gave up a run on two hits in his last appearance and now has a 4.41 ERA and 1.41 WHIP. He still came away with the save, but with Johnson pitching much better of late it may not be long before he steals the job from Grilli. Johnson is available in 70 percent of Yahoo! fantasy leagues and is certainly worthy of an add in most leagues, especially for concerned Grilli owners.
