Is Josh Johnson the most underrated Pitcher??

Does this guy get any national recognition at all? I don't think I've ever seen one piece done on him on ESPN etc.

LOL the talking heads at ESPN been calling this guy the Cy Young award winner the past two seasons on their preseason prediction shows...he gets plenty of attention. He is what he is....a top 10-20 pitcher in the game today which is saying alot.

He's good. Very good, actually. One of my personal top 10.

Most underrated? I think guys like Jon Lester, Mat Latos, John Danks, Nick Blackburn...these are guys that are better than they're given credit for. IMO, anyways.

Josh Johnson is a bad ass. He can hit for power also. The best pitcher in the National League right now. Definitely the best in the NL East.

Jeff Niemann by far is the most underrated pitcher in baseball.

Matt Cain, Shaun Marcum, Tim Hudson also undervalued.
