So Long Dan Johnson

First baseman Dan Johnson signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the Yokohama BayStars of Japan's Central League on Saturday, according to The Associated Press.

Johnson, 29, played four years in the big leagues and hit .248 with 44 home runs and 161 RBIs with the Athletics and Rays. He made his Major League debut in 2005, with Oakland, and had his best season that year, hitting .275 with 15 home runs and 58 RBIs.

He had a huge homerun for the Rays last year against the Saux in Boston and was never heard from again. Don't forget your chopsticks and Rosetta Stone!

This guy had some pretty decent seasons, but has struggled recently. I hope he gets things under control and can make a comeback to the bigs.
