I still don’t see a spot for Dan Johnson on this team, and was waiting for his name to come up in light of Carlos Delgado’s injury. But on Sunday, when Buster Olney laid out some possibilities, D.J. was not mentioned.

“Dan Johnsoooooon!” I sang at the computer screen while reading the column. Apparently Buster eventually noticed, because he brought him up (along with Doug Mientkiewicz) yesterday. The Mets certainly wouldn’t have to give up much to get him.

A good spring, of course, would help. D.J. is hitting .214 with a homer and two RBI in 14 at-bats.
