Red Sox prospects daily: Brian Johnson shouldn't be stuck in Triple-A

Brian Johnson is as big-league ready as he can get in Triple-A, but the Sox don't have a space for him in Boston just yet.

Triple-A Pawtucket: Brian Johnson, LHP

Brian Johnson has made 14 starts for Triple-A Pawtucket, in his first season at the level. You could classify one of them as bad, as he allowed seven runs in just 2-2/3 innings, but otherwise, he's basically been flawless. He's allowed just 16 runs over his other 78 frames, good for a 1.84 ERA, and has struck out over four times as many batters as he's walked in those innings.

You would think all this would mean it's time for Johnson to head to the Red Sox, especially since they're now more in a "figure out what you have for 2016"…
