DaTank Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) They've just solidified their rotation a little more by signing Johnson, but by no means do I think he is worth $8 mil. Right now their rotation is: Lincecum/Johnson/Cain/Sanchez/Zito Not too shabby. It will be a lot better in about a year or 2 when Johnson is gone and IF they can get rid of Zito it would be a rotation with one of the highest ceilings I've seen in a while: Lincecum/Bumgarner/Alderson/Sanchez/Cain Link Edited December 27, 2008 by jenks45monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Zito's a mistake they'll be stuck with for a while. I could also see them dealing Sanchez for hitting, as the Giants have seemingly no problem developing pitching but their offense is absolutely terrible.

ThunderBolt Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 This deal doesn't make a whole lot of sense for Johnson for a record perspective. He'll be lucky to win 9 in San Fran, and had a more then decent chance of winning at least 13 with the Cubbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 It's pretty obvious KW is going with what we got. Are we rumored to be heavily after anybody? Not complaining just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenario Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Keith Law says the Randy Johnson signing moves the Giants "toward 2009 respectability, if not outright contention." Sounds like Law has been hitting the eggnog pretty hard over the holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Law has been hitting the eggnog pretty hard over the holidays. They have one of the best (if not the best) rotations in the West now considering that the Dodgers lost Lowe and Penny. If they can add an impact bat or two (SS?, 1B?, 3B?), I think they can potentially win the NL West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But winning the NL West only requires them to be the least pathetic team in that division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But winning the NL West only requires them to be the least pathetic team in that division. Here's how I see it: Padres have one of the worst teams in all of baseball right now. Dodgers lose Manny, Lowe, and Penny. D-Backs have lost Johnson, Owings, and Hudson. Rockies can bounce back this year if everybody is healthy. Giants have the best rotation in that division, IMO. Pitching wins games. I think it comes down to the Giants and D-Backs in '09. Edited December 28, 2008 by jenks45monster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
