Like seriously, where is Kelly Johnson?

It just occurred to me he's not back with Atlanta. Did a google search and don't see that he signed on anywhere. Why is he not our LH pinch-hitter over Ty (I'm too scared to swing) Kelly?

I think that they're waiting for Nimmo to be healthy so that he can take that role.

Or there isn't really a role at all. It's sorta Lagares' roster spot.

The plan, had Lagares and Nimmo been healthy, was that they'd be filling the roster spots currently occupied by Kelly and Conforto.

Kelly Johnson appears to still be available. He can play first, third, and the corner OF positions. Gets big hits for us off the bench. It seems like each of the last two years did not take off until we signed him. I'm just saying.

Sign Kelly Johnson! And send me and my family to Peru for two weeks!

Johnson was a productive MLBer last season, and he's "only" 35. I guess you don't really know because you're not in his situation, but you'd think he'd be playing SOMEWHERE, even if it meant just getting some ABs with an independent team somewhere.

He can play 3B better than Rivera. That doesn't mean he should do so everyday but Rivera is not a good 3B..

Also not a good 3B? #signkellyinamonthmaybe #ormaybeuribe
