Comments on: Who’s The Next To 300? http://umpbump.com/press/2009/04/07/whos-the-next-to-300/ In-your-face baseball commentary Wed, 17 Mar 2010 17:44:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Paul Moro http://umpbump.com/press/2009/04/07/whos-the-next-to-300/comment-page-1/#comment-59055 Paul Moro Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:23:31 +0000 http://umpbump.com/press/?p=5365#comment-59055 Except for the fact that over the past ten years, no one has won 160 games. Zero. So it might be unreasonable to think that. And for the record, in 2007, the Jays scored 4.6 runs per game, which was 12th in the AL. In 2006, they scored 5, which was right at the league average. 2005, right at league average, 2005, 4.5 runs, 12th in the AL. And Rogers Centre is a neutral park, meaning that since 2004, the Jays have been below average offensively. Not saying that Halladay can't possibly do it. But if you are really going to put a bet down on whether or not Doc will get to 300, make sure you get at least 10-1 odds. Except for the fact that over the past ten years, no one has won 160 games.

He's not a power pitcher either and has a great work ethic. Saying that the Jays offense will hold him back is just plain wrong, as the stats will show you, they've really only been a bad hitting team since last season and now they're turning it around. If I had to bet on whether or not Roy would get there, I'd put a good amount on him getting to 300.

Nobody "averages" 20 wins anymore. Hardly anyone even gets to 20 wins nowadays, in this era of the pitch count. hahaha, Rylan your comment is more of an argument for why Halladay won’t make it.

I had considered putting him in there. I just didn't. It was either him or Garland who was going to get the mention and I was more curious to see if anyone would actually vote Garland. But Buehrle was not forgotten, and shall be logged as a vote. And for the record, Buehrle is now 30. Troy, I actually didn’t forget about Buehrle. I had considered putting him in there.
