A quick yet enlightening take on Randy Johnson filing for free agency from Dan Bickley of the Arizona Republic.
Look, there's no doubt. Johnson pitched marvelously last season, almost miraculously.
[ERA+ of 117. Miraculous might be a touch strong, no?]
It's a shame that the bullpen did him in once again. But some of that is on Johnson.
[Huh??]
He's so famously selfish that he makes his teammates uncomfortable, and that bad karma spreads all over the field. He makes his fielders tense, his relievers nervous.
[Ohhhh, I get it! If Johnson wasn't such a dick, Brandon Lyons' 4.70 ERA would have been closer to 1.70. That makes perfect sense. And I bet Johnson had just gotten a new puppy before the 2001 season, as the bad karma seemed to be at much lower levels that year. I bet it was a golden retriever. Those things are adorable.]
