300 Win Candidates: ESPN’s Rob Neyer and I Disagree

ESPN’s Rob Neyer seems to be echoing the theme of my June 27 300 Wins Requires 120 Before 30 - Baseball Theory in his July 3 Somebody will win 300 again. Neyer picks Roy Oswalt and Johan Santana to reach 300 and omits Carlos Zambrano and Dontrelle Willis. No way, Neyer. We at least agree on C.C. Sabathia.
- Roy Oswalt, 8/29/1977, 29, 106 - 52
- C.C. Sabathia, 7/21/1980, 26, 93 - 59
- Johan Santana, 3/13/1979, 28, 88 - 37
- Dontrelle Willis, 1/12/1982, 25, 65 - 46
- Carlos Zambrano, 6/1/81, 26, 74 - 49
Randy Johnson, with 284 wins and struggling with injuries at just 4 - 3 this season, isn’t necessarily a lock for 300 anymore.
Amazing to feel that pitchers ages 28 and 29 are simply too old to have a shot at 300.
