Randy Johnson just won his 300th game, and it could be a long time until we see someone else accomplish that. So who are the most likely pitchers to get to 300 wins? Let's take a look.

CC Sabathia, 28 - 122 wins
Carlos Zambrano, 28 - 99
Mark Buehrle, 30 - 128
Jon Garland, 29 - 110
Jake Peavy, 28 - 91
Roy Oswalt, 31 - 131
Johan Santana, 30 - 116
Andy Pettitte, 37 - 220
Roy Halladay, 32 - 140

Just remember, Randy Johnson only had 48 wins when he was 28, so you never know what can happen.

Well I think the players on that list have a better chance at 300 than the Washington Nationals who are at 298. . .

Only because he is old.

Only because he is on the Yankees and is still only 28, I see Sabathia with the only real chance.  But I wouldn't think that any of the guys would stand a reasonable chance to get #300, unfortunately.  It's a completely different era now.

Did you know that my Cleveland Indians do not have a pitcher who has 300 career wins in franchise history? Bob Feller would've won 300 or more games, if he didn't enlist in the Navy in WWII. The Indians do not have a pitcher who won 300 or more games.; and no, Steve Carlton and Phil Niekro do not count.

I think Halladay could do it. Maybe C.C.  I don't think Pettitte wants to keep playing long enough to get there, though I wish he would.

Halladay pitching until he's 43 or 44 wouldn't surprise me. I think he will be the next one. Sabathia I think will get close, too. It's not something you can predict, you just go "holy crap" after the pitcher does it.

Let's post this again in 2015 and see where these guys are. Cole Hamels may be sitting at 150 by then. He'll only be 30 then.

Buehrle might have one of the best chances of those listed.  First, he is very durable,  He hasn't been injured and has pitched over 200 innings for eight seasons since becoming a starter in 2001.  Second, he relies on control rather than speed.  That is what helped Greg Maddux to pitch until he was 42.  Buehrle has been having a great season.  Let's say Buehrle finishes with 18 wins (6-2 right now).  That means he would need 160 more wins for 300.  If he plays 12 more seasons, then he would need about 13 a season, which is feasible.

I'll take Peavy of the guys listed here. His mechanics should keep him from having major arm trouble.

I think Peavy has the best stuff on the list, but come on now, he's on the Padres and seems content to keep it that way.

I think Halladay, Santana, Sabathia, and Peavy are the only ones with shots.  (Peavy more likely if he got traded to a better team like Philadelphia for instance.)

Zack Greinke (fairly durable) only has 42 wins thus far but is only 25 years old.  If he gets put onto an actual good team, there's no reason he shouldn't be considered on this list.  And Tim Lincecum (very durable) is only 24 years old, but has 29 wins in just 59 games on the upstart Giants.  Who knows what will happen, but on new and better teams, or even improved versions of their current teams, each guy has just as much of a shot as the guys listed above. 

And as 100% mentioned, "Just remember, Randy Johnson only had 48 wins when he was 28, so you never know what can happen."

Sixty-three year old Jamie Moyer and the debate opens-up if 300 wins is the 'key to the hall of fame".

sabathia is the only one i see with a chance possibly by the end of his yankee tenure or if andy pettite pitches another 8 years with his declining wins per year

I doubt any of these guys reaches 300

Well, winning 300 games for one team is pretty ridiculous. I think only Walter Johnson did that. Maybe Cy Young (he did play for 6 teams though).

Don't forget Early Wynn, by the way. He won 300 as an Indian.

Zambrano got number 100 tonight, but since he's signed to a long-term deal and Kevin Gregg is the Cubs' closer, 300 seems virtually impossible at this point.

I think that any of the younger player may make it. I can see the 28 is the youngest there is. They are young and still have the energy, the ability to build on with their strength. CC Sabathia is most likely to have that chance at hand now, if he not only keep up with his love in the games but the spirit also. So CC Sabathia, I wish you the best.

I bet any one of them player can make that point.

Wait, you can win games off the DL list? That's a new one. 

There's only a handful of players in today's game who not only have the stuff to win many games, but an even smaller handful of those players are trusted to go long into their own decisions. Halladay and Sabathia are both guys that go 7+ innings so are the most likely, while Johan struggles to get out of his own way just to reach 7. Halladay and Sabathia have the most realistic shot as they don't rely as much on the bullpen to secure their victories, though I'd probably say Sabathia is one who could fall into trouble late in his career as velocity drops off. Peavy will probably find a new team before seasons end, which could help increase his odds of teasing with the 300 mistress, but beyond that, my money would ride on Halladay - talk to me about Lincecum and Grienke in about 2 years and we'll see if they still have their dominant stuff to offer, until then they're far out of my thought process as they have a lot of time to develop.

Like Lincecum is lighting it up...Terrible team means less wins (obviously)
