Kenji Johjima hit his 2nd HR in as many games to open the season.
My initial reaction was, "Great. Now he goes for $20+ in my draft on Saturday."
My almost immediate next thought was, "If I don't draft him, he will be difficult to obtain via trade and then will disappoint in the power department because he just got lucky a la Tuffy Rhodes."
With this working appraisal, I checked thebaseballcube.com because it carries Japan stats.
What surprised me was he hit at least 24 HRs per year for 5 consecutive seasons and his SLG was over .500 in the last four seasons.
His power may be legit. Or at least, if I deal for him early, he won't hit 9 HRs over the remaining 24 weeks of the season after hitting 2 in the first couple weeks.
