I saw that Verlander plans to pitch well into his mid 40. He's at 43 now with 266 wins. Now no doubt he's a HOFer. How many wins will he end up with? Any chance at 300?
Personally I don't think he can make 300 but I (bleep) sure ain't betting real money against him. I'd say around 285-290 will be it.
How about strikeouts, he's at 3553, needs 447 for 4,000 - can he make it? He had 137 last year. I think he will short on that one too. Maybe 3800?

Re: OT- Verlander
No won’t make 300. As a starter. Requires five plus innings and a lock down pen.

Re: OT- Verlander
I think he ends up around 275-280. I hope he's not one of those guys that hangs around too long and becomes a shell of himself to the point of embarrassment similar to what Wainwright did
Re: OT- Verlander
agree
what is it with these guys and some arbitrary numbers??
Verlander has won a Cy Young, a World Series, thrown multiple no-hitters.....he is a lock for the HOF
I don't care at all if he embarrasses himself........but as with wainwright, it's not right to embarrass the club...

No chance at 300. No chance at 4000 ks.
