Gibson is also 26th in walks, showing longevity, and yet he's not in the top 30 in wins. Maybe not as successful as his reputation suggests.

BA, but he's not as dominant as Koufax, Pedro Martinez or Randy Johnson in those categories.

eep with his deliberate style on the hill.
3-San Francisco Giants: Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, Randy Johnson, Barry Zito, and Jonathan Sanchez. Wild card: Noah Lowry.
Lincecum's right up there with Johan Santana, Roy Halladay, and C.C. Sabathia in the "best pitcher in baseball" discussions. I'd have no problem with someone who said Lincecum was the premier pitcher in the game.

chose not to move either young arm in return for Johan Santana in the winter.
Randy Johnson outdueled Rich Harden last night in Arizona, throwing seven shutout innings for a 2-0 victory. Harden allowed just one hit through seven, but it was the big blow--Alex Romero's first career home run. Harden struck out ten in the game, but took the tough luck loss to fall to 0-1 since being traded to the Cubs. Chicago leads both Milwaukee and St. Louis by two games in the NL Central, and Arizona climbed to 49-50, good enough for first place in the West.

er bringing them out of the pen in important and tight situations, as Lou Pinella famously did with Randy Johnson in 1995, bringing him on for three innings in Game Five on only one game’s rest, and advancing them past the Yankees for the Mariners’ first playoff series victory. But these moments are famous in part because they rarely occur.

Facing the second batter in last night's game against the Giants, Randy Johnson tied Roger Clemens at #2 on the all-time strikeouts list. With the third batter, he gained sole possession of the second spot, a place he should hold for a very, very long time.
