Johnson Available Again

Just days after being claimed off waivers from the A's, first basemen Dan Johnson was designated for assignment by the Rays. The Giants have said publicly that they are not interested in Johnson, and that's probably even more true with the emergence of John Bowker. However, I still think Johnson is worth a look. Brian Sabean claims to be looking for a left-handed power hitter, and I can't think of too many available, except for Johnson and some guy named Bonds. With Johnson at first, the Giants could move Bowker back to the outfield, and try to trade Randy Winn. There are always teams in need of an additional outfielder, and Winn probably has more value than most of the players on this team. Trading Winn would also make some room for Nate Schierholtz, who has been tearing it up in Triple-A. Seems like a pretty low-risk move.
