Brian Johnson May Make Boston Red Sox Starting Rotation In 2017




Samatha Myles Posted on 9/28/2016.


The Boston Red Sox drafted Brian Johnson thirty first overall in the 2012 MLB Draft. I think Johnson will be ready at some point in 2017. Brian Johnson struggled this year going 5-6 with a 4.09 ERA in 2016 in his 15 starts.


Brian Johnson would be a #5 starter at best in Boston's rotation. Johnson needs a lot more time to develop in AAA. I honestly would not consider bringing him up until 2017, but I think the Red Sox will rush Johnson up next year the same way Boston rushed Henry owens up this year in 2016.


Johnson is capable of being a starting pitcher in the MLB. At the same time, it's extremely cruical for Johnson to perfect his game in AAA.
