Let me know what you think

Nick Johnson/Blue Jays

A wrist injury ended Johnson's 2010 season in May, the fourth straight year in which he failed to play in 100 games. He wasn't playing that well, but the plate discipline that is his top skill was still evident, good for 24 walks and a .388 on-base percentage. After trading Mike Napoli, the Blue Jays are back down to a mishmash at first base, led by Edwin Encarnacion. Johnson's OBP would be a great fit for a team that didn't have nearly enough runners on base to take advantage of its power surge a year ago, and may have even fewer in 2011.

But the Jays aren't 'led' at first by EE

Adam Lind should be getting most of the playing time at first.

The link doesn’t work, by the way.

Fixed the link

Johnson didn’t play much last year and when he did play he was awful. The last 3 or 4 years his only skill (besides getting injured) is taking walks. I might offer him a minor league contract and see what he does in spring.

Lefty swinger, high OBP

and isn’t he above average at 1B? If healthy, might be a nice addition for DH. Although AA has repeatedly said he is committed to giving EE everyday reps, so that would be an issue.
