Back's Back
Randy Johnson threw for Bob Melvin today:
Melvin was more than a little impressed.
"He came out throwing bullets the first pitch he threw," the manager said. "As I've discussed before, the arm's not the issue here. I haven't talked to him since he finished, but I think he's probably pretty pleased with the way it went."
The possiblity of a Webb, Haren, Johnson, Owings and Davis rotation has to make Melvin a happy manager. He could end up holding four aces.

I do wonder... if Owings put up a OPS north of .800 this year and gets a little more then the usual ABs given to a SP all year (say 90ish or maybe 100) how much value does that add in terms of Winshare or VORP?
