24 pitchers have won 300 games. 28 players have hit 3000 hits. 25 players have hit 500 homeruns.
But only 19 players in MLB history have reached 100 WAR.
Since 1980, only 4 players have done it. (And 2 of those 4 are PED-users in A-Rod and Bonds; Schmidt and Henderson are the other 2)
Cal Ripken, as good as he was and for so long, couldn't even do it - finished at 90.9.
Who do you feel will reach 100 WAR?
Pujols should be a lock. He's already at 85.5, and he has 10 seasons left.
After him - who? Derek Jeter is at 68, so he would need 4 MVP seasons (8.0 WAR). That's not happening.
Miguel Cabrera and David Wright are both under 40.0, and both are at half-way point in their careers. Unless their have monster seasons in their mid-30s, they're not getting it.
Honestly, after Pujols we may not see 100 WAR for some time.
