Johnson sets D-Backs return

Posted: Friday April 11, 2008 06:18AM ET

A healthy Randy Johnson is scheduled to take the mound for the Diamondbacks for the first time this season Monday in San Francisco. In his most recent start for Triple-A Tucson on Tuesday, Johnson pitched well for six innings, throwing a fastball that reached 92 mph and effectively mixing in three other pitches. There's always a possibility that he could end up throwing harder when he gets into a game that counts.

I think he does have a pony tail, Whalers. It also looks like he's got one of those thin and dirty trailer beards.

What was he doing during the off-season? Mixing up crystal meth?

Anybody think this might be a good pickup for Fantasy leagues as a 5th or 6th guy on the roster...my pitching squad sucks on my Fantasy team but if he'll get me innings and a couple wins.....

Report Offensive Comment

no no no, he'll perform good this time. remember he's not a yankee anymore.

Report Offensive Comment

I would do it Tribe. Its worth a gamble.

Randy Johnson is a walking Jeff Foxworthy joke

Report Offensive Comment

Yea, maybe that isn't a ponytail. Maybe it's an Arizona Mullet. Too thick to be a rat-tail.

Report Offensive Comment

I'm thinking about it Whalers. I have one guy, can't even remember his name he's so bad, that I could drop to make room for him. If he bombs I can always just drop him again and find some other scrub. At least Johnson has a decent track record.

I think he was runnin' shine with Uncle Jesse!

I wish this galoot would go away. His tenure in NY proved to me what kind of player he is. Go back to your small market and rack up your wins and K's...

Report Offensive Comment

probably he should just hang it up -- face up to his deteriorated body -- remember how he was, not how he's become
