Johnson's been having a rough time this year. He started to bounce back before the All-Star break and hopefully will turn it around for the rest of the year. There's concern that he vastly overperfored last year and what we're seeing this year is natural regression. But he and Drew work together well and Drew's quietly turning into a top shortstop that nobody's ever heard of.
I'm a little bit jealous of your knowledge of your league as a whole. I work weird hours so the Diamondbacks take up pretty much all of my time (and boy am I pleased to be over .500, no one saw that coming and I'm still not sure how they've done it once you get past the obvious improvement in the bullpen). I just don't have time for other teams and players.
Except for Dan Haren who is my baseball boyfriend and my favorite pitcher. I love rooting for a guy who's an ace but not ranked in the Halladay/Lee/Lincecum/Sabathia type pantheon. His delivery is crazy and I love that he pitches better when he's pissed off. Plus he can hit which never stops being fun. Also, he pretty. Loooove. But I also fell in love while he was a Dback.
