Now he's not good.... boy this board can flip on a guy. It isn't that he isn't good. He's a fine pitching coach. He was put on a extremely lofty pedestal last year, though, and when he left to go to the Reds, more than a few posters used it as an excuse to attack the team's front office while predicting doom and gloom for the Brewers' 2019 pitching staff. As we know now, while the there were some bumps in the road pitching-wise, Johnson's perceived value, and coincidently Hook's lack of perceived value, was grandly overinflated.
