Randy Johnson wins his 300th game. Quite an elite club - arguably more difficult to reach than than 3000 hits, 3000 Ks, 500 HR, etc...
ESPN.com has a poll up asking who has the best chance of becoming the next 300 game winner:
Roy Halladay (32 years old; 140 career wins)
Roy Oswalt (31 years old; 131 career wins)
CC Sabathia (28 years old; 128 career wins)
Johan Santana (30 years old; 116 career wins)
No one.
I picked Sabathia because (a) he's the youngest and (b) the Yankees are going to spend money for the foreseeable future to win games - therefore CC's on the best team to give him a chance. 44% percent of voters agreed with me with 30% saying no one. 13% said Halladay.
If Halladay finishes this year with 20 wins (reasonable) he'll have roughly 151 career. If he pitches until he's 41 he'll have to average 16.5 wins over the next 9 seasons.
