He'll need to win 23 games this year to reach 100 career wins and he'll be 28 in May. To reach 300, he'd have to average 20 wins a year for 10 years, 18 for 11 years, almost 17 for 12 years, and a little more than 15 for 13 years. I could see him winning 200, but I doubt he'll reach 300.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('890','Mike Lynch'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('890','Mike Lynch','If Josh Beckett stays healthy, he may have a shot, although probably a long shot.

If you treat steroids as prevalent as many do, the 300 win club may not be dead yet. The miracles of modern 'science' could do wonders. Of all those pitchers you mentioned, look at their ages. Pitchers can last longer than twenty years ago.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('881','Greg Stephens'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('881','Greg Stephens','I don\'t know.

Mussina maybe. I don't see anyone else ever getting close. Just the last few dinosaurs looking up from the impact of the comet of high salaries and free agency. When guys made 40K a year as top pitchers in baseball, they had to complete games. Anyone who makes it thru arbitration and signs one decent deal is set for life.
