SP Juan Villatoro is now 2 wins away from being the first SDMB OOTP pitcher with 300 wins.
ReplyDeleteJust thought I would let you know that Luis Jeon has let me know that he is retiring at the end of the season. I thought he had another season or two at the beginning of this one, but I was wrong and the all time HR leader will go out as a Hurricane.
ReplyDeleteI wondered for a long time if Villatoro or Hester would hit 300 first.
ReplyDeleteWith his injuries, I'm now wondering if Hester will make it to 300.
Before the season started, Favorite Toy gave Hester a 59% shot of reaching 300.

Now, after the first half of the season, he's down to 7%.
Well, on the bright side for the Hester family, I'm going to give him every chance this year and next to get the remaining wins necessary.
