I'm really interested in watching him. I didn't know much about him when the Sox traded him but I've been following his AAA numbers and he was tearing up down there.
He was putrid in the Bigs last season. He's got to succeed, though. You can't be that good in the minors, then bat .141 with 1 HR and 9 RBI in 128 AB like he did the previous year. That was in San Diego, however.
Rizzo is not in the lineup tonight. Makes sense to wait until Tuesday since Johan is a lefty.
I'm looking forward to seeing him play. I'm sure part of his struggles were due to Petco, but most was probably just being overwhelmed. The Major League can eat you up and spit you out fast. Supposedly he's done some corrections to his swing, but we won't know until we see him in action.
