Randy Johnson reaches a deal with the San Francisco Giants. He'll try to win five games for 300 wins with a poor offense behind him.

Randy Johnson beats out Terry Bross as tallest San Francisco Giants player. Bross was 81 inches, Johnson is 82.

Johnson's 2008 season was actually pretty good. He improved both his strikeouts and walks over last full season, 2006 with the Yankees. With the ability to strike out close to a batter per inning, Johnson is still someone who can be an effective pitcher. He might also teach the youngsters on the Giants something about pitching. I haven't heard the price yet, but it's a good signing. Fans will come out to see him win 300, and he likely makes the rotation better.
