Baseball Almanac Top Quote

"He (Roy Johnson) was a heckuva prospect with a world of talent. When he joined us in 1982, we all felt strongly about him but it's just that the talent wasn't displayed for us or any other team in the majors." - Montreal Expos Field Manager Jim Fanning in The Globe (Danny Gallagher, 04/10/2009)
