Johnson did it. CC still has a good shot (205 wins at age 33). Buehrle might have an outside chance (186 wins at age 34). No one else under 35 is even halfway there.<br /><br />I generally agree with your myths, and I definitely agree another 300-win pitcher is likely, even if not in the imminent future. But in retrospect, the aftermath of the steroid era may be taking its toll on pitchers. Compared to 10 years ago, it does seem like pitching injuries are much more common and last much longer.Zachary Schunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13095222899589522265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-52604119501694782422008-01-18T14:14:00.000-05:002008-01-18T14:14:00.000-05:00http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/W_active...http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/W_active.shtmlJakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208921021297172480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-60520050892366636762008-01-18T01:18:00.000-05:002008-01-18T01:18:00.000-05:00Please give me a list of 50 active pitchers with t...Please give me a list of 50 active pitchers with the most wins.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-27689695646267170472007-09-11T17:21:00.000-04:002007-09-11T17:21:00.000-04:00A few years ago, I really thought Mark Mulder had ...A few years ago, I really thought Mark Mulder had a shot.... He had 97 wins at age 28. If he stayed healthy and productive he'd be at about 130 right now... instead he's only won 6 games in the last 2 years for 103 in his career. I don't think he'll ever be the same Mark Mulder again.... such a shame.Justin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15041223839215625638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-27955063272600341652007-09-11T15:26:00.000-04:002007-09-11T15:26:00.000-04:00Hey Shawn,I wouldn’t be surprised if no other acti...Hey Shawn,<BR/><BR/>I wouldn’t be surprised if no other active player reaches 300 wins other than Randy Johnson. I think it’s about 50/50 for him. Aside from Johnson, I think the following players have a decent chance…<BR/><BR/>Pedro Martinez—He’s only 35. If he pitches until he is 42, I think he’ll get there. I’m not sure his body can hold out that long but do not be surprised if he makes it.<BR/><BR/>Andy Pettitte--He is the same age as Pedro and only has nine fewer wins. If Pettitte sticks with a winning team (Yankees would give him the best shot) until he’s 42, I think he would make it too.<BR/><BR/>Tim Hudson—He would have to average 15 wins over the next 11 years to get there by the age of 42. If he pitches longer, then his chances increase. <BR/><BR/>Roy Oswalt—Hudson and Oswalt have just about the same chances. I would not be surprised if one of them made it.<BR/><BR/>Mark Buerhle—He is one year younger than Oswalt and only has six fewer wins. <BR/><BR/>C.C. Sabathia—Of all active pitchers under the age of 35, I think C.C. has, by far, the best chance. He only has to average 13 wins per season until he is 42. If he pitches until he’s 42, you would have to think he’ll make it barring a major injury.<BR/><BR/>Johan Santana—He has many elite seasons ahead. If he leaves the Twins for a better offensive organization, he could really make a push.<BR/><BR/>Jake Peavy—I have a feeling he is about to explode. He is young like C.C. but about 20 wins behind.<BR/><BR/>Dontrelle Willis—I’m not sure if Willis has flamed out or not. If he can bounce back to his pre 2007 form, then he’ll have a great shot.<BR/><BR/>It’ll be interesting to see how long these pitchers last. Pitchers keep pitching longer and longer. Clemens, Jamie Moyer, Maddux, Kenny Rogers, Schilling, Smoltz and Tom Glavine are all over 40 and pitching well. If that becomes the norm, then you’ll see a few of the above players reach 300 wins.<BR/><BR/>Take care!<BR/><BR/>JakeJakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208921021297172480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13718554.post-7808450312096657412007-09-11T04:27:00.000-04:002007-09-11T04:27:00.000-04:00So if you had to make a very early prediction now,...So if you had to make a very early prediction now, who would you say will be the next 300 game winner, after Randy Johnson reaches it?Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172485007983426070noreply@blogger.com
