So for the pro-Johnson crowd, when do you get him back in net? If Elliott keeps winning, the next obvious spot is the back-to-back against Vancouver. But by then it will have been a good 2.5 weeks between starts. Fortunately, Johnson seems like someone who doesn't need a lot of time to get in a groove. However, if this is going to be a true 1a and 1b tandem, I wonder if you start him in Arizona regardless of whether Elliott wins against Anaheim (unless he gets a shutout or plays extremely well). I think there is a fine line between rest versus rust -- and the answer is not always black and white...
