"People would laugh if they knew what I was thinking about this year," Johnson said with regards to his personal goals. "Obviously I may not achieve that, but if I don't have a mindset to be competitive then I would go out and I would feel I don't have to prove myself. I feel I do need to still prove myself.
"That's why I've been hard on myself. That's why in years past, I've never felt I've pitched as good as I could. That motivates me and drives me. It sounds kind of funny, but I don't think I would have ever done the things that I've done if my mindset wasn't like that. If I would have been content to go out and have a so-so year."
So is he aiming for 22 starts this year? Maybe 25?
"I've got myself down for 34 in my fantasy league," he said jokingly.
Did he pick himself first in the draft?
"Not quite that high."
Yeah, right.
