The Most Dangerous Rotation In October May Be The Giants

It's hard to top the Giants right now. From MLBTradeRumors:

The Giants will sign Brad Penny, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com. They'll pay him only the pro-rated portion of the MLB minimum salary, which is only about $75k at this point.

The Giants now have a formindable [sic] rotation. Penny, Barry Zito and Jonathan Sanchez join Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain to form arguably the best rotation in baseball. The Giants, who are tied for the NL Wild Card lead, expect Randy Johnson to return as a reliever sometime in September.

Um...yeah. That's a ridiculous rotation. And you have to assume Brad Penny will be nasty, healthy, back in the National League, pitching against the Los Angeles Dodgers team he felt disrespected him. Joe Martinez had a 7.52 ERA and a WHIP of 1.937. I think Penny can top that.

And the last time that we saw Randy Johnson out of the bullpen was against the Yankees in the World Series...scary! (I thought at first, it was in Little Big League, but I rechecked my facts...and actually rechecking my facts again, I think he came in for the Yankees in the ALDS a few years back, but that doesn't count because I'm trying to supress his tenure here).

They may only get in as a Wild Card and they have zero hitting besides Pablo Sandoval...but if the Giants get in, you do not want to face that pitching.
