Becket won his 18th game of the season today. That gives him a career total of 75 wins. To forecast him getting to 300 is very premature. He is 27. he would have to average 15 wins a season for the next 15 years to get there when he's 42. Let's check back with him in 2020.

Right now the only guys within a stone's throw of 300 are Randy Johnson (career may be over) and Mike Mussina (seems to have lost it, for now at least.)

Note to Dan. We didn't have any 20 winners last year, but both Becket and Wang have a good shot this year. They both won number 18 today, and each has 3 or 4 starts left.
