Unit wants to savor time with Giants

SAN FRANCISCO — If 2009 is Randy Johnson’s final Major League campaign, he intends to cherish it.

The “Big Unit,” known through most of his 21-year career as a glowering, intimidating 6-foot-10 presence on the mound, won’t necessarily change his demeanor when he’s pitching. But he sounded ready to share the camaraderie with his new Giants teammates — especially if they’re the last ones he’ll have.

“I’m not going to say I’m done because I haven’t even started the year,” Johnson said on a conference call Saturday, one day after signing a one-year, $8 million contract with the Giants. But the 45-year-old acknowledged, “It could be my last season. … I probably want to enjoy it a little more and be surrounded by people who are enjoying it as well.”
