At first glance the record for Johan in the postseason is less then inspiring - 1-3 3.97 era. A closer look at those games reveals a different story. He struggled in relief in 2002 giving up 6 earned runs in 6.1 innings. Removing his relief outings his era drops to a more respectable 2.92, good but still not Johan-esque. His game log is as follows;
4 3 0 0 2 3 -2003 ALDS Game 1
3.2 6 6 6 1 3 -2003 ALDS Game 4
7 9 0 0 1 5- 2004 ALDS Game 1
5 5 1 1 3 7 - 2004 ALDS Game 4(Short Rest)
8 5 2 2 1 8 - 2006 ALDS Game 1
I don't remeber 2003 Game 1, was he hurt? Anyway, in all but one start he has given Minnesota a really good outing. The verdict? I would not worry about Johan on the big stage.
