	Thanks for all the information on Walt Terrell.  Here's 
	the precious little I can offer about Howard Johnson.

	Haven't heard the scuttlebutt about Hojo in the NY press 
	but looking at the 1984 statistics reveals few surprises.  

	Batted .248 as a switchhitter.

		Statistic	Rank (Tigers)

		355	AB		8th
		 14	E		2nd
		 10	SB		3rd
		  8	GWRBI		4th
		 12	HR		7th(tied)
		 50	RBI		8th
		 88	H		9th

	Simplistic analysis:  Defense has never been one of Johnson's
	strengths.  He has better than average speed on a team that 
	didn't run.  He appears a good clutch hitter with power.
