Could He Be the Last?

Randy Johnson is going for his 300th victory tonight against the Washington Nationals. During his mid-twenties no one thought that this current 45-year-old had it in him to get to this point. But he has! And it begs the question... Who will be the next pitcher we see it the monumental number 300? Let's take a look at the active players closing in...

With 250 wins and at the age of 46, I like Jamie Moyer, but he is out!

Andy Pettitte is at 220 and he maybe has a couple years left.

Pedro Martinez and John Smotz are at 214 and 210 respectfully, let's face it there's no chance.

Knuckleballer Tim Wakefield is at 189, does he really have 111 wins left...I don't think so.

Bartolo Colon and Livan Hernandez are both in the low 150s, bigger chance of them going on a diet then getting to 300.

Roy Halladay just turned 32 and is currently at 140. Possible, but the way the Jays throw him not likely!

131 at 31 for Roy Oswalt, needs to turn into a Greg Maddux to have a shot with his size frame.

CC Sabathia, now we're talking. Turning 29 this july and with 122 wins, we have a chance. He plays for a winning team that will score him runs when needed. It's very possible with CC.

Johan Santana...Another possibility? The 30-year-old has 116 wins, can beat you with smarts and movement of pitches. Also, playing for a team that can go and get players to produce at the plate.

So you can see that it is going to be a while if it does indeed happen, but we are certainly going to have to wait a while. So remember Randy Johnson tonight, so one day you can tell your kids (or grandkids) that we got a chance to see the last 300 game winner in Major League Baseball.
