Wheeler said it would be a tough call if he had to select the Smokies' MVP. While Phelps and Hudson would receive nods from most observers, Wheeler said he couldn't ignore Johnson, who led the league in runs and finished second in batting and steals. "He's a guy you win with," Wheeler said. "His tools aren't overwhelming, but when you combine his talent with his heart and desire, you've got one heck of a player." A scrapper, Johnson does an excellent job of working counts. Once on base, he can steal a bag or take an extra base when necessary. "He's an interesting guy," Runge said. "He's a gamer, a blue-collar type of player who can beat you in a number of different ways. He has a good bat with a little bit of pop. He has the ability to drive in runs. He's also a very good baserunner. Guys like that find their way to the big leagues."
