Baseball’s Savior

Randy Johnson threw five innings in a game against the Yankees Single A affiliate, Clearwater.  Johnson gave up three runs, two of which came on a two run shot by J.J. Johnson.  He gave up two more singles, walked two and he struck out six.  Johnson will open up the season for the Yankees when they travel to Oakland on Monday.

In other news, Jorge Posada, who’s recovering from a broken nose, is going to catch Randy Johnson to start the season.  A lot was made of Johnson’s tough start last year and a lot of the blame fell on Posada’s shoulders.  And even though Posada only caught Johnson for seven innings this spring, he’ll be behind the plate on Monday.
