Diamondbacks Acquire Chris Johnson

The Diamondbacks acquired Chris Johnson from the Astros over the weekend for a couple of minor leaguers (Bobby Borchering & Marc Knauss).  It's honestly not a deal I'm that excited about, they gave up a couple of decent prospects for what I'd consider to be a pretty mediocre third baseman.  I guess they were desperate.  He is probably an upgrade over what they've been throwing out there but I would have preferred they just stick Ryan Wheeler out there and found out what he could do, I think his upside is much higher than that of Chris Johnson's.  I guess the fact that they are "buyers" means they haven't thrown in the towel on 2012 yet, I'll take that as a good sign.
