12. Do you think we'll ever see another 300 game winner?

I don't. The game has changed so much.

It used to be a factor in discussions of Cy Young candidates whether they'd won 20 games in a season. For starting pitchers, I can remember as a teenager watching pitchers put together terrific ERAs and WHIPS over a season but then hearing analysts say, "Well, he only has 16 wins," so he won't be part of the Cy Young conversation."

These days, only a few pitchers will reach 16 wins.
