Player Notes
January 5, 2010
According to Ed Price on Twitter, Randy Johnson has officially announced his retirement from Major League Baseball.

Our View:Well, the Big Unit has officially hung up his enormous spikes. The 46-year-old lefty made his announcement via conference call and finished out his incredible career with a 303-166 record, 3.29 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. The five-time Cy Young winner, ten-time All Star and World Series MVP is second all-time in strikeouts with 4,875, threw two no hitters and a perfect game and will most certainly be a first ballot Hall of Famer.

Updating an earlier item, Randy Johnson has pushed up his Wednesday conference call to Tuesday night, and is indeed expected to announce his retirement, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

Our View:Say it ain't so, Randy. The Big Unit will be retiring as one of 24 members of baseball's illustrious 300-game winner club, a five time Cy Young award winner, a 10-time All Star, a World Series co-MVP and second all-time in strikeouts, with 4,875. He threw two no hitters and one perfect game in his remarkable 22-year career.

Free agent pitcher, and 300-game winner, Randy Johnson has scheduled a Wednesday conference call with reporters, according to Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports.

Our View:It will most likely be to announce his retirement from the game of baseball. At 46 years of age, and coming off a major injury, it is probably time for the living legend to walk away. Stay tuned.
