#115 JOE JOHNSON
ATLANTA BRAVES 1985-1986

Pitcher Joe Johnson's career got off to a fast start for the Braves in 1985. He won his first four decisions that year including a complete game win over the Cubs on August 30th. After his fourth win, his ERA was a very impressive 2.17. This guy was going places! Then he ran into trouble. Joe lost his last four decisions of the year and his ERA rose to 4.10.The next year was also streaky. He won three. Then he lost three. Then he won three. Then he lost four. Then....he was traded to Toronto. He did end up with 13 wins in 1986 between Toronto and Atlanta.
