Lance Johnson's career as regular CF is over. It's a trade that turned out well.
Johnson through 1998 has been at bit better than real life (through 2000).
BA .309 vs .291
OBP .345 vs .334
SLG .421 vs .386
He's a three time all star, 94, 95, and 96, and led the league in triples eight time, ABs twice, and hits once. He led the Pirates in games played in CF seven consecutive years. Next best is Al Oliver with six (non consecutive) and Omar Moreno with five consecutive years as the Pirates regular CF.
When the farm doesn't produce, and you can't trade for Andy Van Slyke, trade for Lance Johnson!
