BRADENTON, Fla. -- No need to bury the lede: Termarr Johnson's right hamstring is already feeling better.
The Pirates' first-round draft pick from last year strained it during fielding drills on Tuesday and walked back to the clubhouse before getting to swing a bat on the field that day. With a slight limp in his step, the plan to get the Pirates' first-round draft pick a taste of major-league camp became more or less just that: A taste.
"I was very surprised when it happened," Johnson told me at his locker at Pirate City.
