Athletics Minor League Baseball Blog

Back in 2007, the Athletics drafted Jonathan Johnston in the 42nd round and signed him to a major league deal.  Since then, he’s bounced between the minor leagues and his more pressing assignments with the Navy.  BA had an interesting profile on this catcher and now with his active duty behind him for now, he’s shooting for a spot on a minor league club that needs a catcher.  It’ll be interesting to see what he can do with basically being out of baseball for three years but it would make for a great story.
