Verlander-Max-Kershaw could be the last.
I think AW is HOF worthy. Comparing him to the pitchers of his era, he rates right up there with the best.
Lack of a Cy award? That shouldn't be held against him. He was robbed of one, and lost one to a pitcher who had a career year.
If you're comparing players of today vs players of 50-75 years ago, then no player playing today is deserving.
Nobody is going to have a lifetime avg of .350, and nobody is going to throw 15-20 complete games per year (nor in their career). It's a great topic gor discussion.

Re: Will Waino be the last to 200 wins?
I think others will get there eventually but it will be more rare. Maybe someone with a jamie.moyer like career although its harder to survive in mlb without velocity these days.
A stud pitcher could make it but theyd need to pitch deep, stay relatively healthy, and putch for a good team.
Also while this injury was a major blow to coles chances, its still not impossible for gerrit cole if he rebounds strong. Before last year, cole had veen averaging over 14.6 wins a year in non covid years since his age 24 season.
Ultimately, he will need to come back and have almost no more injuries, but its not impossible albeit improbable with inhuroes becoming more likely at this age

I don't see a worthy pitcher until J. Verlander, Max and C. Kershaw retire and put in there five year wait so it could be a long time.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑08 Jun 2025 08:50 amI mean pitchers.

To me Z. Greinke is a borderline at best Hall of Famer but he does have a CY Young Award and was just shy (2929) of the magical 3000 strikeouts so he could eventually get in.

Re: Will Waino be the last to 200 wins?
Thats every pitcher. Waino also gained wins in his less good years in 2016 2017 and 2019 in less than stellar games and had plenty ofnyears with a good bullpen and offense.
If you are gonna start counting pitential wins for every putcher that had leads blown by bad bullpens, then every pitcher with time in the league is a 200 game winner

As to the 200 wins, I think Cole will make it. Nola has a slim shot, age 32 95 wins but that Phillies team helps.

Re: Will Waino be the last to 200 wins?
Verlander, Max and Kershaw all have over 200 wins and are still active. so no, Waino won't be the last pitcher with 200 winsrockondlouie wrote: ↑08 Jun 2025 08:57 amI don't see a worthy pitcher until J.

Greinke is likely a first ballot guy. I’d be shocked if he was on past 3 years. He’s a no brainer.rockondlouie wrote: ↑08 Jun 2025 08:57 am

As to the 200 wins, I think Cole will make it. Nola has a slim shot, age 32 95 wins but that Phillies team helps.
Nola is 32 with a 1-7 record. Prior 3 seasons he has had 11, 12, and 14 wins. Going to extremely difficult unless he's a guy who pitches well into his early 40's.
Cole won 8 games last season and had Tommy John in March. Turns 34 in September. He has a fighter's chance depending upon his TJ recovery. Needs 47 wins which at his age and with the way the game is now played should take him 5 seasons. Certainly possible, could go either way.

Re: Will Waino be the last to 200 wins?
I don't disagree, both have a tough climb to 200 but I think Cole will pitch long enough to get there. I also think both will be helped by playing on good teams (if they were with the Pirates, no chance in the world)Monsieur De Treville wrote: ↑08 Jun 2025 10:00 amWell, I don't see it.
