Johnson finalizes deal to be Yanks' DH: Nick Johnson returned to the Yankees on Wednesday, finalizing a $5.5 million, one-year contract. Johnson can earn about $1 million more in performance bonuses next year, and the deal includes a 2011 mutual option for at least $5.5 million with possible escalators. Johnson began his career in New York and spent three years with the Yankees before he was traded to Montreal after the 2003 season in the deal that brought pitcher Javier Vazquez to the Yankees for the first time. He figures to bat second for the Yankees behind Derek Jeter.

Fantasy Analysis
A first baseman, Johnson will replace Hideki Matsui as New York's DH. Johnson hit a combined .291 for Washington and Florida last season with eight homers, 62 RBI, 99 walks, a 426 on-base percentage and a .405 slugging percentage. While Johnson has had a high on-base percentage throughout his career, he has been fragile. He has made nine trips to the disabled list for a sprained right wrist (2000), bruised left wrist (2002), broken right hand (2003), strained back (2004), broken cheekbone (2004), bruised right heel (2005), broken right leg (all of 2007), right wrist surgery (2008) and strained right hamstring (last season). The Yankees give him a great supporting cast and Yankee Stadium's short right-field porch should allow him to set a career high in homers, if he can finally stay healthy for a full season. DHing will help in that regard, consider Johnson a sleeper in the latter rounds on Draft Day.
