Back to full strength, Johnson ready for camp

MIAMI -- Claiming the National League ERA title was rewarding, but Josh
Johnson would have traded the distinction for a chance to have finished last
season healthy.
Due to a strained back muscle and a sore right shoulder, the Marlins shut
Johnson down after a Sept. 4 start.
The two-time All-Star and ace of the staff finished up with an NL-best 2.30
ERA to go along with an 11-6 record in 28 starts. With better fortune, his
win total would have been much higher. Johnson exited seven starts with a
lead only to settle for a no-decision. According to the Elias Sports Bureau,
that was the most of any starter in 2010.
"Everybody talks about the ERA," Johnson said. "But I would rather have
thrown 220-plus innings or however more innings I could have thrown. But it
worked out the way it did."
By missing the final three weeks of 2010, Johnson finished with 183 2/3
innings and 186 strikeouts.
"Just sitting and watching those last couple of weeks, it wasn't fun,"
Johnson said. "It was tough to even go to the dugout. That's how mad I was. I
didn't want to give a negative vibe on the bench. It was tough.
"I want to be out there with the team and be one of the guys who helps us
win, and not just someone who can't do anything about it."
Now fully healthy, Johnson is eager for the start of Spring Training, which
begins Feb. 18 at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Fla.
The 6-foot-7 right-hander, who turned 27 on Jan. 31, spent the offseason at
his new home in the Las Vegas area.
After spending months training at the Philippi Sports Institute, Johnson
arrived in Jupiter last week, where he has been training at the Roger Dean
Stadium complex.
Already, he has thrown three bullpen sessions in Jupiter, and he has another
one scheduled for Friday. Before leaving for Florida, he tossed off the mound
three times at his home in Nevada.
A longtime resident of Oklahoma, Johnson and his family had an eventful past
few months. In December, his wife, Heidi, gave birth to their second son,
Cruz.
About a week before the birth, Johnson began his throwing program, first long
tossing off flat ground before working his way to the mound.
Right now, everything is on pace for him to be Florida's Opening Day starter
on April 1 against the Mets at Sun Life Stadium.
While he missed the final three weeks of 2010, Johnson will head into Spring
Training workouts with no restrictions.
As part of his recovery in recent months, Johnson specialized his training
routine in hopes of preventing another injury setback in 2011. He was
recommended to go to the Philippi Sports Institute in Las Vegas.
At the 2010 All-Star Game, Johnson met a friend of Jason Giambi, who also has
trained at PSI, which is owned by Mark Philippi, a strongman competitor.
"I did a lot of core stuff," Johnson said. "I thought I did a lot of core
stuff before, but after working with this guy, I realized it wasn't enough."
Johnson has refined his diet, and he is doing more distance running. His
weight is at 250, and he expects to drop five more pounds by the start of
Spring Training.
