HitTracker :: Player and Field Detail: "2009 Season Home Runs for Johnson, Nick"

A click through to the link shows six of Nick Johnson's 8 2009 HRs going to RF. Of those, 2/3s went to what is the sweet spot of the New Yankees Stadium. While Curits Granderson gets lots of hype about his new hitting environment, he can't be expected to do much better than the 30 he hit last season.

However, one could see Johnson doubling his 2009 HR output assuming his HRs from 2009 are representative of the direction of his batted balls. With 15 HRs and a .300 AVG, Nick Johnson would provide considerable upside from his draft position (undrafted).
