We heard it all week long, but it won't really sink in for quite some time. Tom Glavine won career victory number 300 last night against the Chicago Cubs, pitching 6 1/3 strong innings. Glavine very well may be the last pitcher to win 300 games over the course of his career, at least for the near future. Randy Johnson is 16 wins shy; however, given his recent back surgery and age, those 16 wins seems quite out of reach.
Glavine is still a serviceable starting pitcher in all fantasy leagues, although he isn't ever going to dominate a game like he used to be able to do. During a post-game interview with ESPN, Glavine further hinted at what many of us speculate; that this may be his final year in baseball. If it is, he has been a wonderful talent to watch. I don't think any pitcher ever got quite so much production out of his natural talents, or lack thereof.
