Reed Johnson: Defense matters

reedjohnsoncatch

Whatta catch by the Cubs’ Reed Johnson! 

If you haven’t seen it, catch the video at mlb.com. Johnson’s catch stole a bases-loaded home run from the Milwaukee Brewers’ Prince Fielder on Sunday.  The Cubs won the game 8-5.

Is it safe to say that Reed Johnson’s defense has won at least one game so far this year?

PS Alfonso Soriano hit his 51st career leadoff homerun in the game.  I guess it’s a matter of perspective.  I look at it as 51 home runs with nobody on base.
