The Big Unit is headed to the Bay Area.

The Giants agreed to a 1-year, $8 million contract with Randy Johnson, bringing him home to the Bay Area in order to bolster their starting rotation. The starting rotation looks something like this:

Tim Lincecum
Matt Cain
Barry Zito
Jonathan Sanchez
Randy Johnson

with Noah Lowry looking out on the periphery. I think it's a good move - a short term deal and insurance in case Noah Lowry can't come back from his arm troubles.
