Gibson is also 26th in walks, showing longevity, and yet he's not in the top 30 in wins. Maybe not as successful as his reputation suggests.
Randy Johnson

BA, but he's not as dominant as Koufax, Pedro Martinez or Randy Johnson in those categories.

eep with his deliberate style on the hill.
3-San Francisco Giants: Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, Randy Johnson, Barry Zito, and Jonathan Sanchez. Wild card: Noah Lowry.
Lincecum's right up there with Johan Santana, Roy Halladay, and C.C. Sabathia in the "best pitcher in baseball" discussions. I'd have no problem with someone who said Lincecum was the premier pitcher in the game.

er bringing them out of the pen in important and tight situations, as Lou Pinella famously did with Randy Johnson in 1995, bringing him on for three innings in Game Five on only one game’s rest, and advancing them past the Yankees for the Mariners’ first playoff series victory. But these moments are famous in part because they rarely occur.

al? A four-run rally against the D-Backs bullpen on Tuesday and a geriatric battle between Wake and Randy Johnson that ends with a dramatic, booming, three-run homer just after Neil Diamond serenaded the crowd with Sweet Caroline. Had something of a playoff feel to it, no?

Facing the second batter in last night's game against the Giants, Randy Johnson tied Roger Clemens at #2 on the all-time strikeouts list. With the third batter, he gained sole possession of the second spot, a place he should hold for a very, very long time.

l CY Young candidate, they brought in Dan Haren (who should be even better in the NL) and they hope Randy Johnson can stay healthy (he was having a very good year before injuring his back). Their bullpen is the only question mark to me. Brandon Lyon is a solid closer and they have some young talent but they lack the experience. This team should be right back in the hunt for the division crown again this season.

Greg Maddux of the Atlanta Braves preferred Eddie Perez over Javy Lopez. Randy Johnson went with John Flaherty instead of Jorge Posada in 2005 with the Yankees. And even the 7 time Lie Young award winner, Roger The Dodger of Truth Clemens, went with John Marzano over Rich Geman in 1988.
