2015 Dodgers review: Jim Johnson

The Dodgers' acquisition of right-handed relief pitcher Jim Johnson did not go quite as planned.

What went right

From Aug. 27 to Sept. 21, the right-hander put up a 1.74 ERA in 11 games.

What went wrong

Johnson was a well-intentioned acquisition — with a 2.25 ERA and 3.24 FIP in 49 games through July 29 with the Braves — but just didn't work out in Los Angeles in any way, shape or form. After allowing two home runs in 48 innings with Atlanta, Johnson allowed home runs in each of his first two appearances with the Dodgers.
