Termarr Johnson Hits Home Run No. 6
Termarr Johnson went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored on Sunday for Double-A Altoona. The home run was his sixth of the year but first since May 10, a period of 17 games without one, and ended a 5-for-29 (.172) skid he was on coming into the game. The former fourth-overall draft pick hasn't quite lived up to expectations yet, owning a .241 career batting average in the minors. However, the left-handed hitter is coming off two consecutive double-digit home run, 20-steal seasons, and boasts a 17.9 percent career walk rate in the minors. If he can continue to produce, he should reach Triple-A by season's end, but an MLB debut is looking more like next year at this point.
