    he Big Unit is heading home to the Bay Area. Randy Johnson and the San Francisco Giants agreed to an $8 million, one-year contract Friday, meaning the 45-year-old pitcher will go for his 300th win with a new team. Johnson, a 21-year big league veteran who spent the past two seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks, was born in Walnut Creek, Calif., about 30 minutes from the Giants' waterfront ballpark.

    I don't know if this is the best move for the Giants. Even though it's only a one year deal, this team is building for the future. True, he can help the young guys, but eventually I think he might be taken off the starting pitcher role, especially late in the season, and put in the bullpen. Resulting in more playing time for younger guys

    8 million isn't too bad.
