Yankees Close To Signing Nick Johnson

Word out of the Twitterverse is that the Yankees are closing in on signing free agent first baseman Nick Johnson:

NYY on the verge of signing Nick Johnson. Contract details to be worked out -- it's not final -- plus the physical. At the 1 1/2 yard line.

But as ESPN's Keith Law points out, Johnson and physicals don't necessarily get along:

I think that the physical is more than a formality when the player in question is Nick Johnson. #manofglass

Johnson is an on-base machine, but may be best known for his ability to never stay healthy. Johnson batted .291 with a .426 OBP in 133 games between the Nationals and Marlins last year.
