Insurance, use as a DH, PH, go to AAA. Trade bait for prospects. Who knows.
and now he's been DFA thanks to the trade of Gabe Gross

That sure was a quick time in Tampa for Dan. He will be picked up by some other American League team. Maybe the A's will get him I think they are need of another 1B/DH type.
Can't believe Gabe Gross knocked him off the roster.
Good for the Rays as they beat the system. I wish my Giants would have gotten to keep Rajai Davis.The Tampa Tribune reports that Dan Johnson has cleared waivers and will accept an assignment to Triple-A Durham.
It's probably for the best. Johnson has had just one at-bat since the season started and could use a tune-up in Triple-A. He'll be called up if there's an injury, and could also be traded if he starts hitting.
