    Matt Cain. Tim Lincecum, Cole Hammels and Jake Peavy are off to great starts.

    I feel like even though many of those guys may be in good shape, Felix Hernandez is at a great pace for his age, and will only become more dominant in the coming years...

    Gotta go with Peavy here
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Yeah, Peavy is a stud and will be one for awhile. He'll be the next one to reach this milestone. Congrats to Smoltz, by the way.

    Lincecum is actually 24.

    He turns 24 in June so right now he's 23.

    I'm not necessarily looking for the "next one to reach" but the "most likely" to reach.

    I know it but...I was just saying. I just should have worded it different.

    Peavy, maybe. I'd pick none of the above. Longevity plays a part and several of those young guys already battle injury issues. Sabathia will probably be in the sumo wrestling league by the time he's 34.

    I would hope Glavine would get their but I doubt he will have a chance since he has a little ways away and is almost to retirement.

    He is the 16th player, not the 18th.

    Re: Pitcher most likely to reach 3,000 strikeouts.

    Yeah I got King Felix and Peavy, though health could be a factor in terms of if/when it happens. I really hope that Glavine gets 3000 too. Hopefully he'll get there sooner than later.
