Career Notes:
A 34th round draft pick in 2000, Johnson led the organization with 15 wins as a starter in 2002, his first full season, but was moved to the bullpen in 2003. He was selected by the Oakland A's in the major league phase of the December, 2004 Rule-5 draft but was returned on March 22, 2005. The Cardinals called him up in September that year, and he made five appearances, not allowing a run in 2-2/3 innings.
