WAPO is an abbreviation for the Washington Post. I suspect Johnson will
miss more than a month. He always takes a long time to come back from
injuries. IIRC, Guillen called him a wimp in 2005 for staying out
longer than needed.
While Fick might make a serviceable temporary defensive replacement, I'd
rather see longtime Expos top prospect Larry Broadway step up to the
plate and drive in some much needed runs this season.
