    That's great news. That's one guy I would hate to miss out on getting 300. I just hope he doesn't do it against the Dodgers.

    As a huge fan of Tim Lincecum, the signing of Randy Johnson kinda cracks me up. When the two of them are standing together, they're gonna look like father and son -- Johnson is literally a foot taller!

    It's a good story. I hope Randy can win 8 or 10 games next year.

    Just remember to cash in after his 298th or 299th. Because once he does get to 300th, all the hype will die down and the values will go down considerably. HAPPENS. EVERY. TIME.

    I just hope a lot of guys don't think their Johnsons are 10's and then have them graded as 3's or 4's.

    He is a HOFer even without the 300 wins. The milestone is a nice touch.

    If healthy, Johnson can still be very effective, so its not like he is trying to hang on. He can still pitch.

    When Niekro got his 300th win, many older baseball fans said that was the last of the 300 game winners. Since then, a lot of other players got 300 wins or came very close.

    You know, when I first heard the term "Big Johnson" I thought that was a rock band/singer of some kind!

    I think picking up Randy Johnson was a pretty good move. As legendary future HoFer, he might have some good wisdom to pass on to the young pitchers in the Giants pitching corps. Plus, he couldn't do any worse than any other #5 pitchers the Giants trotted out to the mound last year.
