Congrats to Buerhle. The man could retire in style if he wanted to now. Got the ring, no-hitter, and a perfect game. Probably eyeing 300 now.

He is a LONG way from 300...he needs 200 first...and he isnt exactly young...He would have to have career yearsfor 10 years to hit 300

I dunno he's only 30 and he's been real durable. And for whatever reason, he's almost always involved in the decision, win or loss. I'm almost positive he won't reach 300, but if I had to pick the guy who had the best shot, it honestly might be Buerhle.

I don't see Oswalt pitching into his 40s. Halladay and Santana didn't become full time starters until they were 25 so Buerhle has a 3 year head start on them. Sabathia's body will eventually quit on him. Zito could conceivably pitch until he's 50 so I guess he's got a decent shot, but I seriously doubt he'll come close.

There is no doubt that Buerhle is an awesome pitcher. Congrats to him. I saw that catch Wise Did . And holy shit! Wise basically single handedly helped Buerhle keep it a perfect game. Without that catch it's a 5-1 game. All though I could have done without that announcer having an orgasm and screaming "Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes".
But all in all it was an awesome game played by Buerhle and to a much lesser extent Wise. |

Keep in mind fellas that Jamie Moyer is 46 years young and got 255 wins under his belt, but the odds are VERY long that he'll get to 300 with 45 to go. I think Randy Johnson ain't that far behind in age, but of course he just joined the 300 club.

He's a tremendously strange character. He has great moments, and he has ugly ones. He's full of bullshit. He loves getting a day off when he can. I can't really condemn him for it, because I'm no different. Still, he's full of shit and the sooner you know this the better. Here in Boston he took time off for the reason of his grandmother dying like 5 times. He was constantly milking injuries or requesting time off. He's an amazing hitter though, so you learn to live with it. |

Either way, I wouldn't peg either one of them to win 300 games, or anyone active for a very long time. Nobody in mid-career is on pace to do so, and with the young guys it's too early to tell. There's also the possibility that Randy Johnson may be the last 300 game winner for a long long time, or possibly ever. The nature of the game changes, and so does pitching. Certain milestones become increasingly more common, or are phased out to become unatainable. I've heard legitimate arguments that the age of the 300 game winner is gone. Randy Johnson would have reached 300 much sooner if he wasn't on shitty teams that constantly failed to give him run support. That's why I think that's such a factor here. If Halladay lands on a respectable ballclub that wins 100 games perenially, he can pick up a few more wins here and there. Run support hasn't been a huge issue for him in Toronto, but I'm sure it's cost him some tough no decisions here and there. I'm of the mind that the next 300 game winner is probably just starting their career, or hasn't even been born yet. Last edited by Jeritron; 07-23-2009 at 08:50 PM. |

See I have longevity concerns about Halladay. Buerhle has been a workhorse. He's got 8 straight seasons of 200+ innings. I can see him pitching for another 12-13 seasons. I can't say the same about Doc Halladay.

I suppose it could also be a guy who doesn't strike out many hitters and therefore doesn't get his pitch count up.

Halladay's injuries had always been bad luck stuff. Like line drives off the leg. Halladay will not break down, trust me on this one.

I agree with Supreme....Workhorse = Innings eater...Doesnt mean he is good or bad.
Livan hernandez....Work Horse... Dude aint that great anymore, but he is going to eat 200 innings and keep your pen fresh. |

I just heard that in 24 hours Halladay might be traded to the Phillies. They offered Toronto a good deal. Halladay is pitching tonight so we'll see if Halladay pitches against Tampa. If he doesn't that mean he got traded.

Yeah I think Charlie Manuel may have changed his mind about Drabek being untouchable.I'm guessing if that happens Drabek and or Happ is gonna be a big part of the deal.
