Chris Johnson hit his first homer Thursday and is off to a 5-for-12 start this spring. Johnson has a history of strong springs, so this is nothing new. He's competing with Juan Francisco (4-for-12, 1 HR) to become the Braves' primary third baseman. He'll almost certainly start against left-handers, so the question is whether he'll platoon with Francisco or be a full-time player.
