Padres Sign Josh Johnson - One Year, $8 Million

[Cobiemonster]

It came down to the Giants and Padres - I thought he might sign in San Fran but not a bad deal for the Padres

Nice deal by you guys. Health is obviously the concern but if he is right that's a great deal

Low risk, high reward signing, love it for the Padres.

If Johnson is healthy & can find his form the Padres rotation could be filthy. Balsley & Black get another reclamation project.

I'm glad to see Josh come to San Diego! If he can stay healthy, I think he'll be a major asset to the team! Let's go, Padres!

The Padres rotation was strong before this deal but Josh Johnson is a legitimate ace. If that happens, we have starting pitchers we can deal before the deadline.

If he stays healthy, he definitely is. Watched him pit for years when he was a Marlin, always gave us trouble.

First Mark Pryor, now Josh Johnson. Who are they going to blow $$$ they don't have on next?
