Former Sugar Bear and future DMBL Hall of Famer Randy Johnson is still looking for a team to latch on to during spring training. The 46-year-old went 13-5 last season with a 3.99 ERA and 199 strikeouts in 27 starts for Newark but was not protected in the offseason and has yet to get a sniff from other teams.The "Big Unit" in 2009 continued to add to his career strikeout mark, finishing with 3,409, but fell tantalizingly short of other records. Johnson remains two wins behind all-time leader Greg Maddux (232) but is the winningest lefty in league history (230), significantly ahead of Tom Glavine (170).
Johnson is one of only four pitchers to start 450 games but could pass Glavine (455) and Roger Clemens (452) should he can join a team in 2010. Maddux, however, is out of reach at 497 starts.

Butch will probably pick him up when one of his guys gets hurt...just to stick it to Maddux!
