Randy Johnson struck out seven in six innings for Triple-A Tucson on Tuesday night in what probably was his final minor league rehabilitation start.

He did give up 3 runs, but retired the final 8 batters. If this offense is for real and Johnson can stay healthy the rest of the year, 16 wins is not out of the question, but I think we see Johnson pitch one more year since it is obvious that we wants 300 wins before he retires since he could very well be the last to ever get to 300 in MLB hostory.

I'm surprised to see his first start on the road, in cold temps. I thought the org. would try to set up his start in PHX to try to draw a walk up crowd.

No funny intended, I'm genuinely concerned about relying on RJ for anything. With his fastball in the 89 to 92 mph range, will he be effective at all?

Yeah, I read about the great control he had. I want to see it for myself.
