Hardest career milestone to achieve?

[Tank]

the discussion on 300 wins spot on. going to be a long, long while until we see someone hit that mark again.

 

i think the 500 homer mark is going to be tougher to reach, also. pujols is about to get there, but i'm not sure there are very many on the horizon who have a realistic shot at it. 

[Stradling]

Tank, I see Cabrera getting there, possibly Adam Dunn if he plays this year and next.

[greginpsca]

I don't see anyone passing Pete Rose's hit mark.

[Stradling]

People have zero concept of what a milestone is.

You would think out of all the active pitchers Felix has the best chance at getting to 300 since he's up to 112 at age 28 but he needs to average 15+ wins for the next 10 years to have any chance of getting there.

I was shocked to read the other day that Miguel Cabrera is already at 2,000 hits (I think he turns 32 this week). I don't think it would be a stretch for him to get to 3,000 in his age-37 season, at which point he will still have 5 years of a contract. Assuming no major injuries, he is a lock for 3,000 (and probably well over 3,500).

Scott I think the problem is that there aren't many common milestones. Other than 300 wins, 500 home runs, and 3,000 hits, there aren't many other commonly recognized milestones.

All the more reason why Mike Mussina (270 wins?) should have been a first ballot Hall of Famer.

Adam Dunn, Miguel Cabrera, Alfonso Soriano and Adrian Beltre are the only players with any chance of getting it.

Don't doubt trout. If he plays for 20 years, he just needs to average 25 bombs.

He's got this.

[Count Orlok]

Adam Dunn, Miguel Cabrera, Alfonso Soriano and Adrian Beltre are the only players with any chance of getting it.

I wouldn't rule out Prince Fielder. He's fat and going to be 30 this year but a few good seasons with Texas can really help his chances.

[Blarg]

Prince is going to have to hit a whole lot better than the current .162 average and .421 OPS he is carrying right now.

[Stradling]

I'm guessing he will Eric.

[Blarg]

His batting average just dropped to .150.

[Stradling]

Ianetta is jealous.

[arch stanton]

Multiple walkoff HBP?

[QuinlansMinion]

Trout will easily get 500 homers.

Won't happen with Prince. I think Cabrera and Dunn will do it and that's it.
