Rockies' Troy Johnston Earns Accolades

Who has been the biggest surprise for the Colorado Rockies? Put Troy Johnston in that category.

His output at the plate is getting rave reviews, especially from Thomas Harding of MLB.com.

"Johnston produced consistently during his time in the Marlins system but wasn't called up until last year and was placed on waivers after the season," Harding wrote. "The Rockies, figuring it was a low-risk move for a guy with a Minor League option, claimed him for depth.

"On the bubble for the Opening Day roster until late in camp, Johnston has made himself indispensable in the batting order," Harding continued. "Going into the weekend he was tied for the MLB lead with 20 doubles, and among the top 10 among all qualified players in batting average." 

Let's see what Johnston can do against the Chicago Cubs in the next three games.
