Giants Activate Randy Johnson

I saw something cross the tape late last night that hasn’t seemed to garner much attention. The Giants have activated Randy Johnson from the DL.

The Giants now have Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, and now even Jonathan Sanchez all starting, firing on all cylinders down the stretch pitching very effectively, striking out a ton of batters (demoralizing the opposition) and pitching deep into games.

With Sanchez pitching so effectively since his no-hitter, the Giants are going to stick Johnson in the bull-pen. I don’t care how old Johnson is, if he’s coming of the DL that means he’s healthy enough to pitch. He knows how to pitch and if he doesn’t have to pace himself, for one, two, or three innings he can be a dominant force.

The Giants beat the Rockies again last night. They have no pressure on them as no one expects them to actually make the playoffs. They are having fun, playing with house money and are dangerous. Furthermore, in a 5 game series, if you have Randy Johnson coming out of the pen and have to face Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain twice each and Jonathan Sanchez once you have a shot to beat anyone. – Mike Cruise
