Randy Johnson is pitching great in spring training has he has thrown three bullpen session so far and looks excellent.  The “Big Unit” only pitched 10 games in the 2007 season, and then had back surgery in August.

Johnson is on schedule to pitch to live batters on Thursday.  I would expect him to throw around 30-40 pitches during the throwing session.  If Johnson can have a strng 08 season for the Diamondbacks, you have really got to like their chances to make another post season run.

It is being reported that the Arizona Diamondbacks and outfielder Trot Nixon have agreed on a minor league contract.  Nixon will give the Diamondbacks another option in the outfield and another left handed batter.

The Seattle Mariners, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Toronto Blue Jays were also interested in aquiring Nixon.
