Randy Johnson's pesky back will not leave him alone. Just when he seemed to be back in Randy Johnson-esque form, the back that kept him out much of the early part of the year is injured again, and Johnson is headed to the DL.After struggling for the Yankees last year and being traded to the Diamondbacks for nearly nothing in the offseason, Johnson has experienced a bit of resurgence this year. His WHIP (1.062) is the lowest it's been since he finished second in the Cy Young voting in 2003, a year he probably should have won the award, except for those pesky win-loss records clouding everyone's judgment.
But back trouble is keeping Old Man Johnson down this season. Offsesason back surgery isn't as easy for 43-year-olds to recover from as it is for, say, 25-year-old guys in the peak condition of their lives. Or for someone like Sal Fasano, whose mustache contains several of the key ingredients to the fountain of youth.
