2005
Johjima's 2008 couldn't have gotten much worse. He struggled mightily out of the gate, eventually losing playing time to prospect Jeff Clement. His .609 OPS was the lowest in the American League (300 AB). And pitchers grumbled about his receiving skills, not to mention his unwarranted three-year contract extension. There is reason for optimism, though. Johjima's contact rate last season (.91) remained virtually unchanged from his first two years in the league (.91, .92) when he batted .291 and .287, respectively. The difference was last year his BABIP was a terribly unlucky .233, off nearly 60 points from his first two years (.292, .291). In fact, no player with at least 225 at-bats had a lower BABIP in 2008. Johjima's aging (33 in June) and will share the catching duties with Clement this season, but he's a good candidate to bounce back, at least somewhat, from an awful 2008.
